Cosgrave Vergeer Kester LLP is CEJ’s 2025-2026 Winner of the Large Firm Award!

Cosgrave Vergeer & Kester is this year’s recipient of the Large Firm Award, demonstrating outstanding improvement across all categories compared to last year. Lawyers and staff worked together to achieve 100% participation among lawyers, and strong staff support —a true testament to their shared commitment to the cause.

In addition, the firm raised 34% more for legal aid than the previous year. This remarkable growth earned them recognition as a Justice Council Firm.

Cosgrave also provided a matching fund for Willamette Week’s Give!Guide, which helped increase overall donations to the campaign.

Special thanks to CEJ Large Firm Committee member Shane Swilley, new Advisory Committee member Paul Berg, Associates Committee member Jake Reimer, and the entire Cosgrave team for their leadership and dedication in making this success possible. Thank you, Cosgrave Vergeer & Kester, for your incredible support this year!
