Named to the 2024 and 2025 Pro Bono Recognition Roster, honoring significant pro bono legal assistance to individuals, families and communities in need in Illinois
Our firm is committed to serving pro bono clients and organizations that support the most vulnerable members of our community. Pro bono work allows lawyers to use their legal skills to help people who cannot afford an attorney. Our pro bono work spans many subject areas and types of matters. We encourage all our attorneys to engage in pro bono, and they report that it brings both personal satisfaction and professional development opportunities.
It’s been an honor to lead the firm’s work on behalf of disabled veterans. Leveraging the talents of many K&S lawyers, we have obtained life-changing results for veterans and their families, who have given so much to this country.
Participating in the pro bono training program for the judges of the Rwanda Superior Commercial Court was a profoundly enriching experience that underscored the importance of alternative dispute resolution in fostering a robust judicial framework.
A key aspect of our pro bono program is providing legal assistance to non-profit organizations that serve the most vulnerable members of our communities. I have been able to leverage my skills to help local non-profits obtain critical financing.
I’ve enjoyed working on a range of pro bono matters. In the past couple of years, I have focused on homelessness prevention and improving housing conditions, which are important issues in Los Angeles, the city where I practice and live.
Our pro bono program offers many opportunities for partners to train and mentor associates. I have seen first-hand the wonderful professional development opportunities for our younger lawyers, all while making a difference in the community.
Across our practices, in the community, throughout the profession: we are honored to be recognized for the work we do for our clients and beyond.
