As former U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg once said, “…lawyers have an obligation to provide legal services to those without the wherewithal to pay, to respond to needs outside themselves, to help repair tears in their communities.”

If your law firm is looking for a rewarding opportunity to help right the wrongs in housing and our criminal legal system, we have a number of different partnership opportunities available and we’d love to discuss how we could work together. Contact us to learn more.

Impact for Equity works with law firm partners who support program initiatives through:

Impact for Equity partners with law firms to organize convenings of thought leaders and other stakeholders to identify issues, share information, generate strategies, and collaborate. Focused in the areas of criminal legal system reform and housing, these convenings can be opportunities to launch new initiatives, collect and share best practices, or evaluate strategic efforts across multiple platforms.

Impact for Equity leadership staff is available to present at law firms or corporate legal settings. We also partner with law firm attorneys to jointly present to corporate legal departments on racial, social, and economic justice issues. We appreciate administrative partnership with firms to support the CLE credit approval and recordkeeping.

Law firms can partner with Impact for Equity for any portion of this coordinated activity or for an entire series, working in concert with our team at each phase of the initiative.

All Impact for Equity interns, externs, and fellows are part of our Alumni Network, which includes over 300 professionals. Impact for Equity welcomes the opportunity to connect with alumni at law firms as a way to offer continued civic engagement to attorneys throughout their career.
