The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) (“the Services”) recently rolled back a pair of longstanding rules relating to the protections afforded to threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). ESA Section 9 prohibits the “take” of an endangered species without authorization.

We’re excited to support a cause close to our hearts through the Dolphins Cancer Challenge. The annual event brings participants together to bike, walk, and run in support of cancer research and care. 100% of participant-raised funds are donated directly to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center – the only NCI-designated cancer center in South Florida.

To kick off our firmwide fundraising campaign, we hosted a breakfast featuring an inspiring keynote speaker, Erin Kobetz, PhD, MPH, Associate Director for Community Outreach and Engagement at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. As a leading cancer researcher, survivor, and DCC advocate, Dr. Kobetz shared valuable insights on the impact of the DCC on cancer research in our community.

Our team also heard powerful stories from firm colleagues and cancer survivors, learned more about the impact of the Dolphins Cancer Challenge, and received helpful tips on cancer screenings and prevention.
