Legal Services of Eastern Missouri has honored two Thompson Coburn associates as part of its 35th annual For The Common Good Awards.

Garrett Fischer and Greg Mennerick won the John R. Essner Young Lawyer of the Year Award for their work as volunteer attorneys with Legal Services.

Garrett and Greg work with Legal Services of Eastern Missouri (LSEM), through its Community Economic Development Program, to provide a range of transactional pro bono legal services to low-income entrepreneurs and smaller non-profits in the St. Louis community. 

“Between Garrett and I, we’ve worked on a range of projects, [from] preparing the organizational documents for our clients’ companies, preparing and reviewing customer contracts, vendor agreements and leases to assisting with 501(c)(3) applications,” Greg said.

The awards were held Aug. 24 at the Moto Museum in Midtown St. Louis.
