“I enjoy getting involved in pro bono work because it gives me an opportunity to provide my services to persons and organizations of limited means. The particular needs of pro bono clients are also interesting and enable me to connect with people professionally who I might not otherwise interact with in the course of my own practice.” – Timothy Maun, Associate, Latham & Watkins LLP
When a local education nonprofit sought to dissolve their organization, they reached out to the Lawyers Clearinghouse Legal Referral Program. The Clearinghouse connected the group with Latham & Watkins attorney Timothy Maun, who practices in Latham’s Technology Transactions Group.
The organization had built up a large collection of education-related materials, which they wanted to transfer to another local education nonprofit. Tim assisted his client with a purchase agreement, which involved reviewing and negotiating agreement terms, followed by a full transfer of intellectual property (IP).
The IP transfer enabled the second organization to successfully carry on the important work previously done by Tim’s client, who will move forward with the formal dissolution process with legal guidance from Tim’s colleague, Latham Associate Jonathan Ellis.
Tim would like to thank his colleagues Abigail Prague and Gloria Mak, members of the Latham & Watkins Pro Bono Committee, for their support throughout this case.
