Bradley Helps Launch Pro Bono Legal Clinic for Small Businesses and Nonprofits
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (April 15, 2026) – Bradley has partnered with the Madison County Volunteer Lawyers Program (MCVLP) to launch the Huntsville Pro Bono Clinic for Small Businesses and Nonprofits beginning in April 2026. This is the firm’s third pro bono clinic, modeled after its successful clinics in Nashville and Birmingham, which have been open since January 2021 and April 2022, respectively.
“We are thrilled to work with such a strong community partner in the MCVLP to launch this program and provide support to members of Huntsville’s growing small business population, with a focus on those who cannot afford or access legal services,” said Bradley Huntsville Office Managing Partner Benjamin W. Hutton. “As our city continues to experience tremendous population growth and capitalize on its innovative reputation, we want to ensure that local entrepreneurs and nonprofits in underserved communities have the best chance to succeed.”
The Huntsville Pro Bono Legal Clinic for Small Businesses and Nonprofits is designed to provide accessible and affordable services to assist new and established small business owners and nonprofit leaders with a range of business-oriented issues, including general commercial lease advice, entity formation guidance, and contract review. During the clinic, attorneys will meet with clients to discuss business-related questions. Attorneys will respond to each question as they are able but may provide referral sources or invite clients to return to a future clinic for follow-up if needed.
“Huntsville has seen an increase in small businesses and philanthropic organizations that have the potential to lift our growing city, but they often need support navigating day-to-day operational and legal challenges,” said Nicole Schroer, Executive Director of the MCVLP. “Partnering with Bradley allows us to expand our reach and connect these leaders with experienced attorneys, strengthening our ability to deliver high-quality legal support and help these organizations grow and succeed.”
To be eligible for assistance, an entity must be composed primarily of people eligible for assistance from the MCVLP or have as a principal activity the delivery of services to those who would be financially eligible for MCVLP services. To request assistance through the Huntsville Pro Bono Legal Clinic for Small Businesses and Nonprofits, an application is available here.
“Bradley remains committed to collaborating with local organizations like the MCVLP to address inequities within our communities,” said Tiffany Graves, Pro Bono Counsel at Bradley. “We have seen tremendous success in our community initiatives in Nashville and Birmingham and look forward to helping the entrepreneurial and nonprofit communities in Huntsville expand their capacity for growth and create opportunities.”
Bradley’s Pro Bono program helps address the unmet legal needs of indigent individuals and charitable organizations. Attorneys from across the firm’s offices devote a significant amount of time each year to pro bono work, representing individuals in matters ranging from death penalty and human rights cases to intellectual property work for low-income inventors, artists and entertainers.
