Epiq’s Exemplary Support of AVLF’s 2019 Annual Campaign [Donor Spotlight]

AKSHAYA GARIMALLA | JULY 30, 2019

Epiq is standing with us as we expand our mobile advocacy efforts, recruit and support volunteers, and provide wraparound support to our clients both inside and outside the courtroom.

Since its Winetasting sponsorship in 2017, Epiq has created an enormous impact on AVLF’s ability to promote safe and stable homes and families in Atlanta. Beyond the company’s substantial donations to support our programs, Epiq’s presence is felt very strongly in our attorney volunteer base, our Board of Directors, and our Annual Campaign Steering Committees.

Irv Marchand, Senior Global Account Director at Epiq highlighted the importance of AVLF’s mission and its convergence with company values. “Epiq is deeply committed to giving back to our community. We are very proud to stand with AVLF because our familiarity with legal services demonstrates that the work AVLF does is crucial: the impact of establishing access to legal justice for those who wouldn’t ordinarily receive it creates a safer and more stable Atlanta for everyone.”

Marty Ellin, AVLF’s Executive Director, lauded the enormous impact that Epiq’s generosity has had on AVLF. “We are grateful for the many forms of support shown by Epiq and its wonderfully generous employees! From Board service, to volunteer engagement to financial gifts, Epiq has been a consistent and increasingly important partner in the effort to promote equal access to justice for the members of our collective community who have no other access to counsel when faced with a legal problem.”
