Social Responsibility

We are dedicated to building stronger communities through local partnerships that make a difference in the lives of people around the world. From mentoring diverse students to empowering underprivileged women to pursue their career goals, our Social Responsibility Program provides our professionals with many opportunities to use their talents to serve those in need in our communities.

How We Put Our Core Values Into Action

Our Program fosters positive change through three core principles—give, serve and grow.

Give

We support organizations that uplift women and families, honor veterans and advance the development of disadvantaged youth through charitable donations and sponsorships. Through these efforts, we give people the tools to better their own lives and their broader communities.

Serve

Every year, our lawyers and staff participate in a variety of service projects and volunteer initiatives that enrich the lives of others. By using our skills to aid underserved people and organizations, we aim to help build a brighter future together.

Grow

We believe Sidley can best promote social change when we harness our collective resources. As the number of lawyers and staff directly involved in our program grows, we continue to expand our initiatives in creative ways that allow us to make lasting contributions for our world.

Our Global Impact

Across our offices in cities such as Chicago, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, New York and Washington, D.C., Sidley’s lawyers and staff team up on many initiatives that have a positive social impact. We strive to offer our abilities for the betterment of the legal profession and to encourage future generations to carry on our commitment to compassion and collegiality. Engaging with a wide variety of causes enables us to make meaningful progress toward the continued growth and success of the diverse communities in which we live and work.
