The Associates’ Campaign has been a tradition at The Legal Aid Society for over 30 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 28 firms and over 1,000 individuals, the 2025 Associates’ Campaign was the most successful in recent years, raising nearly $415,000!
