Pro Bono Partnership, Inc.

Pro Bono Partnership provides free business legal assistance to nonprofit organizations in Westchester, Orange, Putnam and Rockland Counties, New York; Connecticut and New Jersey. The Partnership, with a few exceptions, assists nonprofits without charge, leveraging its own small legal staff by recruiting volunteer attorneys from tri-state corporations and law firms to advise on corporate structure and governance; contracts and leases; real estate transactions; employment issues; tax exempt status; environmental law; intellectual property; fundraising and lobbying regulations, and other business legal matters. Through its Nonprofit Crisis Management Initiative, the Partnership also assists nonprofits with recession-driven issues such as mergers and strategic alliances; workforce reduction, modifying contractual obligations; restructuring debt; fulfilling terms of government contracts; and deciding whether to file for bankruptcy or to dissolve. The Partnership offers educational workshops for nonprofits on a broad range of legal issues, a resource helpline for answers to brief questions, and numerous free legal resources on its website.
