At SRR, we are committed to the community as well as our employees and clients. We are proud to contribute to and support the following organizations:
Pro Bono Practice
There has been a tremendous push in recent years to make legal services available on a pro bono basis to facilitate equal access to justice, without regard for ability to pay. In providing pro bono legal services, attorneys and referral agencies have recognized that for many of their clients, they can only offer a partial solution… a complete solution would require a combination of both legal and financial expertise.
The professionals at SRR possess specialized financial expertise that can benefit low-income individuals and the non-profit organizations that support them. In addition, our expertise can be of value to newly formed for-profit entities or community economic development organizations looking to serve the needs of the low-income community or spur the re-building of blighted areas. To share our expertise with those individuals and organizations that can derive great benefit from, but are unable to afford, the services we offer, SRR has established a Pro Bono Practice.
Who Qualifies?
- Organizations that serve the interests of low-income individuals
- Organizations or individuals advocating for public, civil or human rights
- Non-profit organizations that would not otherwise be able to afford professional services, or where the payment of fees for such services would significantly interfere with that organization’s mission
- Certain small for-profit businesses that cannot otherwise afford such services and seek to fulfill a commercial need in an economically-challenged neighborhood or to serve low-income customers

If you or an organization you are involved with are in need of and qualify for SRR’s pro bono services, contact our Pro Bono Chair, Andrea Steinkamp (
asteinkamp@srr.com). Organizations will be required to complete our
Application for Pro Bono Services.
Because we have committed to accepting only those pro bono matters that are consistent with the focus areas of our pro bono work, as outlined above, any potential pro bono matter must be approved internally by our Pro Bono Committee. Opportunities to provide pro bono services will be reviewed by our Pro Bono Committee to determine whether the potential matter: (i) presents any ethical or positional conflicts with existing clients; (ii) is consistent with the firm’s pro bono policies; and (iii) can be staffed adequately in light of available resources and expertise.
* The Pro Bono Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, whether SRR is able to represent you. You will receive written notice from the Pro Bono Committee of its determination after it receives your completed and signed application. If you receive written confirmation that SRR is able to accept your matter, you should be prepared to follow though with SRR as soon as possible. You should not assume that you are a client of SRR until a formal relationship has been established. Please do not send us any confidential information until a formal relationship has been established.
