Corporate Partnership: In Practice

In 2025, Jenner’s corporate pro bono team channeled client partnerships into direct community impact. Lawyers contributed to domestic violence clinics, guided students through clean slate petitions, and assisted clients navigating work authorizations, DACA renewals, and Special Immigrant Juvenile Status cases. They supported families through special education hotlines, staffed guardianship clinics, provided compliance support to 15 nonprofits, and helped numerous clients seal or expunge criminal records.

Across every matter, the throughline was the same: sustained, skilled legal support for survivors, immigrants, youth, and families who needed it most.

By the Numbers

The pro bono work below was made possible through corporate partnerships in 2025.

Hours and value of hours reflect Jenner lawyer time only, and do not include co-counsel or corporate partner contributions.

In Their Own Words

Hear directly from a few of our corporate pro bono partners on the impact of our work together.

“This kind of collaboration matters because it expands access to justice in a way no one organization can do alone.”

“The partnership with Jenner & Block has enabled our legal team to leverage our legal skills and resources to give back and make a meaningful impact in the broader community.”

“These projects allowed us to step outside our daily practice and remember that, at its core, the law is a tool to help our neighbors through their most vulnerable and critical moments.”

“Giving these parents some peace of mind over some element of their lives and situation that they can control, in particular the well-being of their children, was just an incredibly valuable service.”

“As in-house lawyers we’re often stretched in terms of bandwidth, but Jenner plans trainings and clinics flexibly to encourage maximum participation.”

“This partnership matters. Working side by side with Jenner on these projects fosters a deep culture of service within our organization, and keeps our teams engaged with real-world civil and human rights issues.”
