Legal Services Alabama (LSA) has partnered with Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP (BABC) to offer a series of free legal clinics in support of Black-owned small businesses and nonprofits.
“Our attorneys are committed to breaking down some of the barriers that prevent Black business owners from receiving the support they need to legally maintain their businesses,” said Tiffany Graves, Pro Bono Counsel at BABC.
“Bradley is working to bridge the gap between the legal needs of those who cannot afford or access legal services and the resources available to meet those needs.”
Businesses that are eligible should have at least 50% Black ownership with 10 or fewer employees and limited means.
The next clinic will be held July 28, followed by others on August 25, September 22, October 27, November 17 and December 22.
Pre-registration is required and can be done here.
“Bradley’s support and expertise has allowed LSA to extend our services and provide legal assistance that builds community growth through a racial equity lens,” said Nell Brimmer, Managing Attorney of Client Access at LSA.
LSA maintains offices in Anniston/Gadsden, Birmingham, Dothan, Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery, Selma and Tuscaloosa.
