Sign Up for the Free Legal Clinic
If you haven't signed up to receive a free legal assessment of your organization through Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta's Legal Clinic we invite you to do so.  A few spots are still available.
 
The goal is to provide nonprofit organizations, such as yours, the opportunity to meet with attorneys who will review your corporate governance documents, including personnel policies, bylaws and major contracts, and brief you on legal issues that may require further assistance.  Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta can then match you with volunteer attorneys who can provide additional free legal assistance.
 
If you are interested in participating, please email Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta's Manager of Nonprofit Relations Gwen Sparling at gwen.sparling@pbpatl.org by Tuesday, April 8th.  Space is limited. A formal invitation will be sent to those interested in participating.
