Oblon is proud to help improve children lives through better sight by donating to the public charity Essilor Vision Foundation (EVF). “Through this donation, we hope to empower children to reach their full potential by giving them the ability to see clearly,” said James Love, a partner who practices patent law in the medical device area. The charity provides no cost lenses and lab services to underprivileged youth. “Poor vision can be an overlooked problem impacting a child’s success in school and in life,” said Love. “Our charitable donations are consistent with the values held by our professionals and staff,” said Philippe Signore, Managing Partner. “We want to practice law and contribute to our communities in a meaningful manner.”
