Jackson Kelly PLLC Takes a Stand to Fight Racial Inequality Through Pro Bono Initiatives


CHARLESTON, W.Va., June 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Jackson Kelly PLLC is taking a stand to support African American businesses impacted both by COVID-19 and the recent protests utilizing our history of legal excellence by providing pro bono consultations and services to African American businesses.

In addition, the Firm recognizes that the federal PPP loan program failed to provide African American businesses with much-needed loan proceeds. One element of the pro bono services being provided is assisting African American businesses with the preparation of the PPP application. The Firm's attorneys will consult with African American businesses and help gather the necessary material, choose the appropriate lender, and prepare and submit the application. The Firm will also assist in maximizing the eligibility for loan proceeds and optimize forgiveness.  

Interested entities or individuals are encouraged to complete the intake form to start this process or visit Jackson Kelly's pro bono page. The deadline for applying for PPP loan funds is June 30, 2020, thus, our attorneys ask that intake forms are submitted by June 26, 2020.

Jackson Kelly wants to do its part to continue to work internally and externally to examine our words and actions, to challenge ourselves to do our part to keep our communities safe from illness, to seek economic recovery, to combat racism, and to advance the change we know is necessary.
