THE LEGALCY WAY | DEI THROUGH BBB-EE

12 MONTH ED PROGRAM

10 Law Firms Per Cohort

A structured, quarterly curriculum in financial management, business development, technology and leadership for 10 black women-owned firms per cohort.

BUNDLED ED GRANT

Milestone Linked Capital

Milestone-linked capital that funds each firm's real start- up and scale-up costs — talent, systems, marketing, working capital.

PARTNER/SENIOR LED MENTORSHIP

1-1 And Peer Network Attention

Each firm is matched 1:1 with a partner-level mentor from a sponsor firm, plus a peer network of fellow founders.

THE INVESTMENT

With Flexible Funding

The funding options include joint cohort funding, adopt-a-firm, single-sponsor cohort to claim the full ESD benefit or in part depending on the chosen funding path. The grant calculated against your own NPAT.

FOR SPONSOR FIRMS

Build a pipeline of brief ready law firms

Along with meeting the LSC's compulsory ESD requirements with a documented, verifiable programme, you protect B-BBEE level from a 1-level downgrade by hitting priority-element sub-minimums. To build onto the sustainability of the law firms in the cohort, we build a pipeline of briefing-ready black women-owned firms for referral work. Through all these efforts we strengthen transformation credentials with clients, regulators and the LPC

FOR BENEFICIARIES

No Equity Given Up

You get access to a partner-level mentor and access to a peer network of fellow founders for support. Through this program you learn structured business skills most law degrees never teach — finance, business development and leadership. Non-dilutive grant capital tied to milestones is applied, without equity given up
