THE VOLUNTEERS
This practice group of the East Bay Community Law Center needs pro bono transactional
attorneys, including those specializing in contract, corporate, employment, and real
estate law.
THE CLIENTS
The program is focused on supporting small businesses, social enterprises, and nonprofits
in the East Bay, especially those serving low-income workers and members of co-ops
in impoverished areas.
THE WORK
Attorneys are needed to advise new business owners on hiring and payroll practices,
record keeping, employee audits, managing independent contractors, and other employment
matters. They also may advise nonprofit boards on employment and tax-exemption compliance
matters. And they're needed to advise on purchase agreements, real estate matters,
and contracts with vendors, suppliers, and public agencies.
THE RESULTS
The four-year-old program has helped more than 500 community members.
TO GET INVOLVED
Contact Sushil C. Jacob, staff attorney and director of the Green-Collar Communities
Clinic, at sjacob@ebclc.org or 510-269-6611.
