Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft hailed its 17-year-old pro bono client Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan for winning this year’s Nobel Peace Prize for her global advocacy of girls’ education, making her the youngest-ever recipient.

The firm has represented Yousafzai since 2012, when it helped her negotiate and establish The Malala Fund while she was still hospitalized in England after an assassination attempt by the Taliban.
