Practices

Pro Bono

Through our pro bono work, we empower individuals to seek justice and opportunity, provide nonprofit organizations the tools they need to effect change, and support the economic development of underserved communities.

Why Cooley

We serve our communities by representing hundreds of pro bono clients annually.


We help our clients overcome obstacles that appear insurmountable without legal assistance.

We collaborate with local and national legal services organizations and with corporate clients in our pro bono efforts.

All of our lawyers are encouraged to participate in our pro bono practice and pro bono work is given the same weight and credit as other matters.
