Our Chicago office teamed up with the Big Shoulders Fund to support Chicago-areas schools. Volunteers spent the day landscaping, washing windows, mopping floors, removing old rugs, and painting rooms. We are grateful for the opportunity to help create brighter, more welcoming learning environments.

At our Chicago office, our attorneys know how to blend hard work with meaningful conversations and connections outside the office.

This year as part of our Summer Associate and EDGE Intern’s experience, everyone was able to travel to our Chicago office. Exploring our various office locations allowed summer associates to form in-person connections with our attorneys from across the United States.
