Adoption
Child Abuse
Schnader alumna Ms. Reimann was the firm’s 2015 recipient of the Earl G. Harrison Pro Bono Award. She joined the firm in 1989 and logged thousands of hours on more than 15 separate pro bono matters. The constant theme in these cases was helping children in serious need. Ms. Reimann spent significant time working on matters through the Support Center for Child Advocates and fully embraced—and embodied––the goal of the Support Center “[t]o advocate for victims of child abuse and neglect with the goal of securing safety, justice, well-being and a permanent, nurturing environment for every child.” Ms. Reimann’s work embodied everything the Earl G. Harrison Pro Bono Award was created to recognize: tireless advocacy for vulnerable or powerless clients who might otherwise be denied the benefits and protections of our legal system.

Criminal Defense
Sex Crimes
In September, 2014, Schnader attorneys helped to secure an overturned conviction and new trial on behalf of Anthony Wright, who, despite proclaiming his innocence, was convicted in 1993 of the rape and murder of a North Philadelphia woman. Police claimed that Mr. Wright voluntarily gave a signed confession to the crime after only fourteen minutes in custody. In 2003, he obtained the help of the Innocence Project, a national litigation and public policy organization dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted people. Following the Innocence Project’s long legal battle to test DNA collected at the time of the crime including a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling in Mr. Wright’s favor, the DNA results excluded Mr. Wright as a contributor to seminal fluid and identified another man as the source.
Murder
In May, 2010, Schnader attorneys successfully obtained a full acquittal on murder charges brought against the Firm’s pro bono client William J. Barnes. Barnes was charged with causing the death of Philadelphia Police Officer Walter T. Barclay in 2007, 41 years after Barnes had shot and partially paralyzed Barclay.
Homicide
Ms. Sanghvi, a Schnader alumna and recipient of the 2010 Earl G. Harrison Pro Bono Award, was honored for her leadership role and unwavering commitment to the defense of William J. Barnes in his homicide trial. Ms. Sanghvi not only had a substantial hands-on role in the pre-trial preparation and the trial itself, but also was responsible for organizing and supervising a team of eight lawyers and two paralegals who spent hundreds of hours investigating facts, reviewing complex medical documents, and preparing numerous legal motions and briefs. Ms. Sanghvi’s tremendous work on the Barnes case was only the latest in a series of important pro bono matters to which she has devoted countless hours.

The firm also has been recommended by Benchmark Litigation.
Business Disputes
William A. Schnader (1886-1968) dedicated nearly twenty years of his life to the organization, drafting, development and promotion of a nationwide system of business law, which earned him the title, “Father of the Uniform Commercial Code,” much of it accomplished while in a wheelchair following a crippling stroke. For this “conspicuous service to American jurisprudence,” he was awarded the Gold Medal of the American Bar Association in 1960. His public service included many other contributions, including five years’ work as chairman of the American Bar Association Bill of Rights Committee (the forerunner of the present Section of Individual Rights and Responsibilities), service as Attorney General of Pennsylvania under two successive governors, during which he directed major new codifications of the laws of corporations and banking, and service as president of the Pennsylvania Bar Association in 1962-63.

Employment Discrimination
Mr. Titus, counsel in our Pittsburgh office, was recognized for his distinguished pro bono service encompassing such diverse matters as the death penalty, the First Amendment and employment discrimination. His achievements include integral roles in the reversal of several death penalty convictions, continued service to the Pennsylvania Civil Rules of Procedure Committee, participation in the American Civil Liberties Union’s (ACLU) Special Registration Project involving immigrants and the INS (now part of the Department of Homeland Security), ongoing contribution to the Firm’s representation of a Pittsburgh police officer in a First Amendment case, and efforts as a teacher of civics and law at a school in an economically depressed area of Pittsburgh.
Non-compete Agreement
On January 23rd, Schnader’s Lisa Brauner presented on employment law updates for 2023 to a business networking group, including the FTC’s proposed rule banning non-compete agreements, the U.S. Department of Labor’s proposed rule regarding independent contractors, pay transparency laws, NYC’s law regarding use of automated employment decision-making tools, trends in […]
