Pro Bono
310,000 hours in 2025, and a goal of 100% partner participation.
Access to justice is not an add-on at Corvane Ryle. It has been part of the firm since our founders began taking on civil rights and tenant matters in Chicago in 1958. Today pro bono work is a core responsibility for every lawyer, and our goal is full participation by every partner.
Last year our lawyers gave 310,000 hours across immigration, veterans' affairs, housing, criminal justice reform, and support for charities and social enterprises.
Signature initiative: veterans and military families
Teams in six offices help veterans secure disability benefits, correct discharge records and resolve housing disputes.

We help non-profits set up social enterprises that bring affordable eye care and corrective lenses to underserved communities.
Signature initiative: housing stability
Our lawyers staff eviction-defense clinics in New York, Chicago and London, helping families stay in their homes.
