Congratulations to BGL attorney Anthony May on being named co-chair of the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service’s (MVLS) Community Advocacy Network (CAN) for 2023-2024! Anthony was selected to the position along with his co-chair, Dylan Elliott. Anthony currently serves as a member of the MVLS Board of Directors, has previously held several leadership roles within CAN, and was named MVLS’ 2019 Young Lawyer of the Year.
CAN is a network of newly barred volunteer attorneys, certified public accountants, enrolled agents, and law students who aspire to connect clients with quality, free legal services while also growing their skill sets. As co-chair, Anthony will help advance CAN’s mission of guiding young professionals in their pursuit of removing barriers to justice for vulnerable Marylanders through pro bono service.
The attorneys at BGL have a longstanding commitment to providing pro bono services to communities throughout Maryland. We devote hundreds of hours per year to high-quality legal representation at no cost. As a firm committed to the pursuit of social justice and equity, maintaining a robust pro bono practice is one way that we are closing the gap between those who can afford a lawyer and those who cannot. Our pro bono practice is diverse and represents the unique interests and skills of our attorneys and staff. We continue to work with MVLS to assist individuals in need of legal representation, as well as having our attorneys participate as members of the MVLS Board of Directors and serve on various committees.
Anthony has represented clients in a variety of complex litigation matters including artificial intelligence, disability rights, wrongful conviction, commercial litigation disputes, and fighting workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation. Prior to joining BGL, Anthony was the Francis D. Murnaghan, Jr. Appellate Advocacy Fellow at the Public Justice Center, where he represented indigent clients and argued on various anti-poverty and civil rights cases.
