Law Firm Leadership Circle

The CBF Law Firm Leadership Circle and its accompanying statement of principles underscore the critical role that law firms in the Chicago area play in ensuring equal access to justice in our community. The Leadership Circle, currently chaired by David Mendelsohn of DLA Piper LLP (US) and Robert E. Deignan of Baker & McKenzie, represents a commitment to a series of best practices for law firms in the Chicago area to support pro bono, legal aid and related access to justice initiatives.

Dozens of firms have signed on to the CBF Law Firm Leadership Circle, making commitments to contribute their time, money and in-kind resources as well as to strategically use their influence in the community to advance this cause.
