Pro Bono
Kenyon offers each attorney up to 80 hours per year to use towards pro bono matters. In a July 2011 article by The American Lawyer, Kenyon was identified as one of the few law firms that actually increased its pro bono work at a time when many other firms cut their average pro bono hours. The primary source of Kenyon's pro bono work is the Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (generally known as VLA), an organization dedicated to offering free legal representation, advice and education to artists and arts organizations in all creative disciplines who are otherwise unable to afford legal assistance. Kenyon also has a long-standing relationship with the Special Olympics, Inc. Since 1990, the firm has provided the organization with pro bono legal representation in connection with maintenance and management of its worldwide trademark and licensing rights portfolio.
