Law Firm Leadership Circle

The Chicago Bar Foundation Law Firm Leadership Circle underscores both the integral role that Chicago’s law firms have in ensuring equal access to our justice system and the critical importance of solid leadership on these issues from the top management of the firms.

The CBF Leadership Circle embodies best practices for law firms on pro bono, firm giving and related issues involving access to justice. Firms at the Gold and Platinum levels have made even more ambitious commitments towards these goals.
