Loeb and Morgan Stanley Cosponsor Series on History of Racism in US Immigration
In partnership with the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, Loeb and Morgan Stanley are cosponsoring a two-part series exploring the history of racism and discrimination in immigration in the United States. Spanning the Chinese exclusion laws of the 1800s to immigration quotas to the more recent Muslim and African country bans, this two-part series will take a closer look at how racism and discrimination have shaped U.S. immigration law.
Register here for A Brief History of Racism & Discrimination in Immigration Part I: A Historical Overview, scheduled for Tuesday, June 15, from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. ET, which will explore how racism and discrimination intersect with citizenship, politics and law.
Register here for A Brief History of Racism & Discrimination in Immigration Part II: Refugee & Asylum Law, scheduled for Tuesday, July 13, from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. ET, which will take a deeper dive into the ways racism and discrimination have framed U.S. refugee and asylum law specifically.
You must register separately for each part. Recorded versions of these trainings will be available at a later date. CLE credit may be available for attendees of the live trainings.
Loeb Partners With ViacomCBS for Small Business Assistance Clinic
On May 13, 44 Loeb and ViacomCBS lawyers teamed up to support 12 low-income entrepreneurs through a virtual legal clinic with Start Small Think Big. With client issues ranging from trademark advice and privacy protection to contract review, the teams were able to provide legal advice and guidance that the small businesses would not have access to otherwise.

The Alliance for Asian American Justice
Loeb is pleased to participate, alongside the nation’s leading law firms and corporate legal departments, in The Alliance for Asian American Justice, a national pro bono initiative to aid victims of and prevent acts of violence against Asian Americans. The Alliance for Asian American Justice will coordinate and deploy law firm pro bono resources to help victims obtain legal remedies such as filing a lawsuit for compensatory or other civil remedies.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, acts of violence against Asian Americans have increased. The newly formed alliance will provide victims with access to the legal system and aid to overcome potential barriers that have historically hindered their pursuit of legal assistance.
