Legal Advisory Council

The LGBT+ VC Legal Advisory Council is a coalition of the United State's legal minds and practitioners who provide counsel to the nonprofit on educating LGBTQ and ally funders, founders, and employees on law, regulations, and policy matters. Members are not necessarily official representatives of their firms, but they provide expert advice, guidance, and counsel on legal matters based on their expertise. The Legal Advisory Council promotes LGBTQ and diverse representation in the emerging companies, venture capital, and startup industries.
