Winston & Strawn associate Lisa Coutu merited Sanctuary for Families’ 2023 Above & Beyond Pro Bono Achievement Award for her “tireless, strategic, inspired, and compassionate” work for the organization.
This accolade is presented annually by Sanctuary staff and their Pro Bono Council who choose a select number of honorees who have gone “above and beyond” to serve the survivors of gender-based violence.
Sanctuary for Families is an organization “dedicated to the safety, healing, and self-determination of victims of domestic violence and related forms of gender violence.” Their goal is to establish freedom from gender violence as a basic human right through specialized services—for both their clients and their clients’ children—and through outreach, education, and advocacy.
