Foley Attorneys Named Michigan Super Lawyers and Rising Stars

Foley & Lardner LLP is proud to announce a series of significant pro bono victories on behalf of the San Francisco Zen Center, culminating in a clean sweep across both federal and state courts. The firm successfully defended the Zen Center in a case before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, resulting in a published decision that affirmed the application of the ministerial exception under the First Amendment. The Ninth Circuit’s ruling marks the first time the ministerial exception has been applied to a Buddhist temple in a federal Circuit Court decision, setting a significant precedent for non-Judeo-Christian religions.

Foley & Lardner, LLP is deeply saddened to announce our friend, colleague, and Managing Partner Stan Jaspan passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, July 27.

Foley announced today that the firm strengthened its Health Care & Life Sciences Sector, adding a group of attorneys and opening a new office in Raleigh, N.C.
