Commonlight Legal is a boutique law firm exclusively serving nonprofit organizations in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and Washington, D.C. Our attorneys advise executive directors, board chairs, and senior leadership on the legal challenges that determine whether a mission-driven organization can sustain itself and grow. We advise on issues from employment law and regulatory compliance to entity formation, governance, and outside general counsel services. We also provide direct representation and systemic advocacy for charter and independent schools, and we have a track record of prevailing in administrative and appellate proceedings. Our attorneys bring deep experience in the nonprofit sector and work as ongoing legal partners, not just transactional counsel.
