Lawyers Alliance for New York

About Lawyers Alliance for New York

Lawyers Alliance for New York is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Manhattan that provides business and transactional legal services to nonprofits and social enterprises working in New York City neighborhoods. Founded in 1969, it draws on volunteer attorneys from a network of law firms and corporate legal departments, together with its own staff attorneys. Its assistance is limited to nonprofit organizations rather than individuals, and its stated aim is to help those groups serve low-income New Yorkers through housing, economic development, health, education, arts, and youth and elder programs.

Its legal work covers corporate structure and governance, tax, real estate, employment, and intellectual property matters. Services include resource calls, limited-scope consultations, educational trainings, publications, and direct legal representation, and they are available both virtually and in person. The organization states that it serves more than 700 nonprofit clients each year across all five boroughs. Requests for help are submitted through an online form. Its New York office is at 171 Madison Avenue in Manhattan.
