Volunteering in the Community
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.
Impactful Summer Mentorships
Our Chicago Summer Associates spent a few weeks this summer working alongside our senior attorneys at the firm. This interaction allowed real mentorships to take place, empowering associates, and creating lasting relationships.
