The National Women’s Law Center fights for gender justice—in the courts, in public policy, and in our society.
Connecting You to Legal Support
NWLC connects individuals to attorneys through its Legal Network for Gender Equity. We also represent a limited number of individuals in legal matters with the potential to impact the law more broadly. If you have experienced sex harassment or other sex discrimination as a worker, student, or patient, or are facing challenges as a reproductive health care consumer, provider, patient, or supporter, you may request legal help by filling out the request form linked below.
- Please note that contacting us to request legal assistance through this form does not create an attorney-client relationship with NWLC or with any attorney in the Legal Network.
- Do not wait to hear from NWLC before proceeding with your matter. All legal claims have deadlines, often called “statutes of limitations,” which vary depending on the claim and legal rights involved. You are solely responsible for any and all statutes of limitations or other deadlines applicable to your specific situation. Contacting NWLC does not change these deadlines. To ensure that your rights are protected, you may need to consult with an attorney promptly to find out which deadlines apply in your case. NWLC is unable to provide you with advice about which deadlines might apply to your particular situation.
