Free Legal Guidance For Former Federal Employees Building Small Businesses - The DC Bar Pro Bono Center

  • 09/30/2026


   Free Legal Guidance For Former Federal Employees Building Small Businesses - The DC Bar Pro Bono Center



Small Business Interest Form

Attorney Volunteer Interest Form


Event Details

Many former federal employees in the Washington, DC area are navigating career transitions following the loss of federal employment. While many have leveraged their government expertise to launch or grow small businesses, access to affordable legal guidance remains a significant need.

To help address this gap, the DC Bar Pro Bono Center is exploring the launch of the "Feds Helping Feds" Small Business Clinic Pilot as part of its Small Business Brief Advice and Referral Clinic. If implemented, the clinic will provide free, brief legal consultations to former federal employees interested in starting or growing a small business.

The pilot would be staffed primarily by former federal attorneys volunteering their expertise to support fellow former federal employees. Non-federal attorneys who wish to contribute are also encouraged to participate.

Who Should Participate?

  • Former Federal Employees
If you are a former federal employee who is starting or growing a small business and would like to receive legal support if the pilot moves forward, we encourage you to express your interest by completing the Small Business Interest Form.
  • Former Federal Attorneys & Attorney Volunteers
If you are a former federal attorney interested in providing pro bono legal assistance – or a non-federal attorney interested in supporting this initiative – we invite you to complete the Attorney Volunteer Interest Form.


We look forward to building a supportive network where former federal professionals can help one another succeed through accessible legal guidance and community collaboration.
