A:
Finding a pro-bono attorney for corporate matters can be challenging, as many attorneys offer pro-bono services primarily for public interest or individual needs. However, you can consider reaching out to local bar associations in California, as they sometimes have programs or can make referrals for such needs.
Networking events, especially those geared towards startups and entrepreneurs, might connect you with attorneys interested in offering services in exchange for equity.
Law schools in California also often have clinics or programs that work with startups and might provide assistance or referrals. Another approach is to reach out directly to attorneys or law firms that have a history of working with startups; while they might not work entirely pro-bono, they may offer deferred fee arrangements. Always ensure any equity arrangement is clear, in writing, and complies with all legal and ethical requirements.
