From its founding, Lowenstein has been committed to pro bono work: the Lowenstein Center for Public Interest directs the firm’s strong pro bono program and other forms of civic and philanthropic engagement aimed at advancing the public interest and serving communities in need. The firm’s pro bono work has been consistently recognized by national organizations since the center’s inception, including in the last two consecutive years by Bloomberg Law as a Pro Bono Innovator.
With regard to technology and innovation, Lowenstein has aimed for decades to harness the transformative power of advanced technology to deliver exceptional legal services, both for clients and within its own operations. The firm’s deep experience in the tech sector enables its attorneys to provide strategic counsel at the intersection of technology, business, and law; internally, the firm has made significant investments in AI and technology to enhance client service and operational efficiency while maintaining rigorous standards for data protection, encryption, and regulatory compliance.
Lowenstein’s culture of inclusivity has been recognized by numerous organizations, including the Human Rights Campaign Foundation Corporate Equality Index, Seramount, NJBIZ (Best Place to Work in New Jersey), and Crain's (Best Place to Work in New York City), to name only a few. The firm’s founder, Alan Lowenstein, a visionary lawyer, civic leader, and social justice pioneer, was known for welcoming colleagues from all backgrounds and life experiences; his deep commitment to inclusion and justice shapes the firm’s identity and core values, which includes a commitment to fostering a workplace where all individuals, regardless of background, are valued, supported, and given the opportunity to succeed.
