Jacqueline Haberfeld '91, Pro Bono Counsel at Kirkland & Ellis LLP
The Lawyers for Good Government Foundation (L4GG) recently announced its Small Business Legal Clinic Project, comprised of 34 law firms and 30 cities across the U.S. The firms will provide pro-bono guidance to small business owners regarding accessing relief funds, filing for grants and loans, and other issues that have arisen due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adam Cohen '91 is Vice Chair, Board of Directors for L4GG.
Jacqueline Haberfeld '91, Pro Bono Counsel at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, is leading Kirkland's participation in the project. She told L4GG:
“Almost out of the blue, small businesses are suddenly struggling for their very survival. It is the professional duty of the legal community to come together to offer advice and guidance to them so that they can continue to provide incomes for their employees, and goods and services to their communities. We are grateful for the opportunity to be able to give back to these hardworking people by providing high-quality free legal advice and assistance."
The pilot project launched in New York City this week. Small business owners can sign up here for consultations.
