Staff at Conyers Dill and Pearman have this year donated almost $2,000 to support Coldwell Banker Toys for Tots toy drive.

According to a spokesman for the law firm, the funds raised were used to purchase gift certificates which will be among the gifts given out to needy children at the Coalition for the Protection of Children’s Christmas party.

Head of insolvency and restructuring Robin Mayor said: “We wanted once again to support the Coalition’s drive for gifts for children.

“We talked to Sarah Faiella at Coldwell Banker, and instead of using the money to buy presents, we decided to buy the certificates which will benefit 12- to 16-year-old children.”
