“Captain Paul has dedicated his life to the preservation of our marine eco-systems and his selfless dedication to the environment is rare and appreciated.  It is a pleasure to lend support to the Foundation’s important work and I am inspired by Captain Paul’s and his team’s passion, dedication, and advocacy in these endeavors,” stated Mr. Soler.

Mr. Soler joins an accomplished team at the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, which includes Global CEO Omar Todd, Operations and Campaign Director Locky Maclean, and Chief Compliance Officer Keara McLaughlin. Mr. Soler lends legal support to the Foundation’s numerous ocean conservation missions and the firm is thrilled to assist the Foundation in its ongoing ocean conservation efforts, which includes education, research activities, partnerships with environmental nonprofits, and more.

Outside of supporting the Captain Paul Watson Foundation’s mission, the firm is heavily invested in animal rights advocacy and conservation in the tristate area. Managing Partner Donald Scarinci, for example, is an advocate for animal rights and rescue whose legal counsel is sought after in three states. Mr. Scarinci actively works on cases that help push the law forward in how animals are viewed under the law: as family members, not personal property.
