Jenner & Block is pleased to announce that the firm has been named the inaugural recipient of the Exceptional Corporate Citizenship Award from Foreign Policy for America. The honor was presented at the organization's annual Leadership Summit in Washington, DC, and recognizes Jenner & Block's sustained commitment to the rule of law and principled corporate conduct.
Partner Rachel Alpert, Co-Chair of the firm's National Security and Crisis Practice, accepted the award on behalf of Jenner & Block. As the first recipient of this newly established recognition, the firm joins Foreign Policy for America in affirming the importance of values-driven engagement at a moment when legal, regulatory, and geopolitical considerations are increasingly intertwined.
The Exceptional Corporate Citizenship Award highlights organizations whose work reflects a steadfast adherence to democratic norms, ethical leadership, and responsible institutional behavior. By selecting Jenner & Block as its inaugural honoree, Foreign Policy for America has acknowledged the firm's long-standing dedication to advancing the rule of law on behalf of clients, communities, and the broader public interest.
For clients navigating today's complex environment, the recognition carries practical significance. Companies operating across borders increasingly look to outside counsel not only for technical legal expertise but also for guidance grounded in integrity and principled judgment. The firm's National Security and Crisis Practice routinely advises businesses, boards, and executives on sensitive matters involving regulatory scrutiny, international policy developments, sanctions and trade controls, and reputational riskΓÇöareas where sound counsel and ethical commitment are inseparable.
This honor underscores a broader trend: clients are placing growing weight on the values and conduct of the firms they retain. As regulatory regimes evolve and geopolitical pressures intensify, organizations are seeking advisors who can help them anticipate risk, respond to crisis, and operate responsibly in jurisdictions around the world. Recognition of this kind affirms that principled lawyering and effective client service are complementary rather than competing aims.
Jenner & Block remains committed to serving clients with the same dedication to excellence, integrity, and the rule of law that the award reflects. The firm extends its appreciation to Foreign Policy for America for this distinction and to its colleagues whose work made the recognition possible.
