We are a group of organizations focused on democratizing the law and politics. Lyda Law Firm provides high-quality legal services for startups/small businesses, nonprofits, and moderate-income individuals. Lyda Strategies provides adept lobbying and political consulting services to mission-driven clients. Our nonprofit, Causes, mobilizes lobbyists to fight for social change through private donations.

What Makes Us Different

We are a group of socially responsible enterprises. We believe in using the power of business to solve social problems, and we believe in the values of transparency and accountability. We believe in redefining success in business. We achieve this by putting our clients first in an ongoing effort to democratize legal services, lobbying, politics, and the law itself.

Lyda Law Firm is built to be a different kind of law firm. Our goal is to provide excellent and accessible legal services while building long-term trusted advisor relationships with our clients.

Our Mission Statement

To increase access to high-quality legal services for startups, small businesses, nonprofits, and moderate-income individuals.

A Different Approach

We offer legal services of big-firm quality but prioritize access to justice by charging significantly lower fees and retainers. For some matters, we offer flat-fee services. For other matters, we charge a modest, replenishing retainer. This presents a win-win cash flow solution for your business and ours. Replenishing retainers allow us to manage our cash flow on an ongoing basis. They also allow us to charge less up front, which helps your business manage cash flow.

Economic efficiencies are key to our approach. Legal services are expensive, and in order to continue to provide our services, we have to make our business model viable. We address this issue by building efficiencies into our model. Our team's collaborative task-management software allows us to keep on top of day-to-day tasks as well as long-term strategy, and it allows us to streamline the levels of supervision that often significantly increase legal costs. We also foster collaborative relationships with our clients. "Unbundling" of legal services and other types of communication can reduce costs while at the same time increasing transparency about our process.

We are always looking to grow, improve, and innovate. If you have thoughts about how we can improve our firm, we would love to hear them.
