This landmark gift establishes the Fish Family and Workplace Law Partners StandWithUs Legal Fund and creates a new full-time position: Litigation Counsel and Director of Community Affairs. Together, these initiatives will strengthen StandWithUs’ ability to confront the rise of antisemitism in workplaces and in the community through legal action, strategic impact litigation, community engagement, and education.

StandWithUs Saidoff Law is a national leader in addressing antisemitism through its law group. With a growing team of staff attorneys and a network of over 600 pro bono partners, StandWithUs has already resolved thousands of cases that have come through its intake. Workplace Law Partners, founded by David Fish, is a Chicago-based employment law firm dedicated to protecting workers’ rights in cases involving discrimination, whistleblower retaliation, sexual harassment, and other workplace injustices. The Fish Family, based in Chicago, actively supports a range of charitable and Jewish organizations committed to justice, education, and community empowerment.
“Workplace antisemitism is one of the most urgent yet overlooked forms of discrimination in today’s society,” said David Fish, Founding Partner of Workplace Law Partners. “Through this partnership, we’re ensuring that employees who face antisemitism have strong legal advocates by their side—and that justice is pursued wherever intolerance takes root.”
Dana Fish added, “Confronting antisemitism in the workplace is more critical now than ever before. It is at its highest level in our lifetimes, and we’re honored to join forces with StandWithUs to drive meaningful, lasting change.”
