Social Sector Legal Services PLLC combines a deep understanding of the social sector and how it operates with a network of lawyers and service providers equally knowledgeable of and committed to advancing the common good.

HOW WE WORK
We provide comprehensive managed legal services so that social sector professionals can stay laser-focused on driving impact. More than traditional outsourcing, think of managed legal services as giving you access to an “outside in-house counsel” or “legal concierge.”
We work only with socially-focused entities, and years of experience working with and for them gives us a deep understanding of their unique needs.
We have expertise to handle a wide range of the matters you most commonly encounter, and a network of lawyers and other partners that we tap into for everything else.
You can outsource one-off items to us, a particular type or area of legal matters, or have us manage all your legal needs.
We tap into our partner network to offer you special benefits like no-cost training and support, product discounts, and access to bundled services.
