The Associates’ Campaign has been a tradition at The Legal Aid Society for nearly 90 years. Led by Associates at New York City’s top law firms, the campaign brings together attorneys to engage in friendly competition and raise vital funds to support Legal Aid’s under-resourced units.
The campaign is more than a fundraiser – it raises awareness and educates young legal professionals about the importance of Legal Aid’s direct representation, advocacy efforts, and legislative reforms to make New York better for everyone.
We’re thrilled to announce that, thanks to the participation of 25 firms and nearly 1,300 individuals, the 2026 Associates’ Campaign was the most successful in recent years, raising over $471,000!
