Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers, Massachusetts

What Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers, Massachusetts does

Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers (LCL) is a Massachusetts nonprofit founded in 1978 that provides free, confidential support services exclusively to the Massachusetts legal community — lawyers, law students, and judges. Services are organized around three pillars: one-on-one consultations with licensed clinicians and law practice advisors, peer support groups including addiction recovery meetings, and educational programming through the 'Webinars for Busy Lawyers' series, MCLE-eligible Startup Guides, and a recognition program (Well-being Excellence Awards). All services are offered at no cost, with scheduling handled through a self-serve online portal and delivery conducted remotely and in-person across Massachusetts.

The organization is funded through grants, donations, and bar association support, with more than 80% of expenditures directed to programs and services in furtherance of its mission. It does not sell a technology product; rather, its core 'platform' is the trust built over 45+ years of confidential service and the regulatory and referral relationships maintained with the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers, the Massachusetts Bar Association, MCLE, the Massachusetts Trial Court Law Libraries, and the ABA. Headcount is approximately 16, including licensed clinicians and law practice advisors (e.g., Senior Law Practice Advisor Luz Carrion, Esq., and Staff Clinician Dr. Shawn Healy, PhD), with no parent organization or external equity ownership.

LCL's go-to-market is community-led: it acquires 'clients' through bar association collaborations, law school partnerships, court outreach, webinars, digital content, and word-of-mouth within the Massachusetts bar. Distribution is enabled by direct consultation, support groups, on-demand webinars, and a co-branded digital library partnership that gives the Massachusetts legal community access to Lexis Digital Library content via TCLL library cards. Strategic emphasis in 2026 has been on expanding CLE-eligible programming (AI ethics, cybersecurity, remote practice) and launching the Well-being Excellence Awards to elevate lawyer well-being as a recognized professional discipline within the Commonwealth.
