Celebrating Service: Michael Perez Receives BBA’s Mary K. Ryan Pro Bono Award.

Touchstone Strategic Law is thrilled to share that Michael Perez (co-founder and Managing Partner) has been honored by the Boston Bar Association (“BBA”) with the 2025 “Mary K. Ryan Achievement in Pro Bono Award”. Mike, as well as six other honorees, was presented with the award on October 30, 2025 at the BBA’s “Spirit of the Bar” event – an inspirational evening celebrating service, leadership, inclusion and community.

The Mary K. Ryan Achievement in Pro Bono Award was established in memory of former BBA president Mary Ryan and is given annually to individuals who embody her legacy as a dedicated advocate and champion of legal aid and pro bono work.  Mike’s commitment to serving underserved and marginalized communities has been a hallmark of his legal career.  The BBA lauded Mike’s combination of “legal expertise, compassion, humility and humor to inspire others to serve.” While serving as a Managing Partner and chairing the corporate department at Touchstone Strategic Law, Mike has devoted hundreds of legal hours to pro bono immigration, housing, and pandemic-related advocacy.


Together, the team at Touchstone Strategic Law celebrates Mike’s accomplishments, and are excited to move forward in the same spirit of service, leadership and community.
