Legal Services for Children

Legal Services for Children (LSC) is a trailblazer in trauma-informed lawyering for children and youth in the Bay Area. Established in 1975, LSC is a pioneering non-profit law firm that offers free legal and social work services to over 1,000 young individuals annually, with 98% of them being children of color and 60% speaking languages other than English as their primary tongue.

At LSC, the focus is on the child as the client, recognizing that each has encountered various forms of trauma, often exacerbated by extreme poverty and racism. The organization is committed to providing therapeutic support as these young individuals, including undocumented immigrant youth, those in foster care, those marginalized by broken school disciplinary systems, and those requiring legal guardianships are assisted. LSC follows an attorney-social worker team model, aiming to empower these children, help them build resiliency, and support their healing process, thus laying the groundwork for healthy development into adulthood.

LSC's work sits at the intersection of education and legal tech, resonating deeply with current societal needs and trends. Being headquartered in the United States, LSC presents an intriguing proposition to investors, given its social impact and potential for scalable growth. While details regarding their last investment and the involved investors are currently unavailable, LSC's mission and model position it as an organization ripe for potential venture capital interest and support.
