JPMorgan Chase and Greenberg Traurig - Name Change Clinic in honor of ProBono Week

Greenberg Traurig hosts JPMorgan Chase for a pro bono Name Change Clinic for the LGBTQ+ community with the assistance of Southern Legal Counsel.   For many transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary people, securing a legal name change is an important step toward making their legal identities match their lived experience.  A lack of appropriate identity documents can deter people from applying for jobs, school, and public benefits, and can lead to discrimination.  But securing a legal name change can be a challenging experience, involving interaction with the court system and judges that is foreign to many people.  By providing transgender people with legal representation, this action will work to ensure that people successfully complete the process and move forward with their lives.
