Navigating the legal needs of the first all-female crew to win an around-the-world sailing competition is no small feat, but it pales beside the dedication of the Maiden’s crew in the Ocean Globe Race. The crew demonstrates bravery and fortitude while advancing girls’ education, and we are proud to support these champions #probono! The Maiden Factor Foundation supports girls’ education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics subjects (STEM)—critical skills demonstrated at the helm during over 28,500 nautical miles and 154 days at sea. Since the foundation’s 2017 inception, we have counseled on sponsorship agreements, grant applications, charitable duties and governance rights, crew liability/safety issues, and insurance coverage, among other matters. We’ll continue to sail beside them in spirit as we support #STEM education. Read more pro bono stories: https://bit.ly/4d3ESkM #WeAreMorganLewis
