Whether it’s reforming existing policy, analyzing an old problem, or expanding into a new area, we master the topic, incorporate best practices, and bring creativity to problem-solving.

Community Violence Intervention
Legal Services for CVI Organizations—Pilot Program
Secured funding from the Skadden Fellowship Foundation and the Community Violence Legal Network to pilot a partnership between the Community Violence Legal Network, Brooklyn Law School's Community Development Clinic, and a New York City community violence intervention (CVI) organization. The pilot focused on providing general legal counsel to CVI groups, with an emphasis on risk assessment and compliance. The project is developing templates and models that legal service providers can use to represent CVI organizations going forward.

Blueprint for Scaling CVI in a Major U.S. City
Drafted a comprehensive blueprint for the NYC Crisis Management System (CMS) for scaling community violence intervention across the city, with funding and support from the Community Violence Legal Network. Engaged the leadership of the CMS network of CVI providers, gathered perspectives from dozens of practitioners and leaders, and organized their input into a framework, report, and set of actionable recommendations for the mayoral administration.
Responsible AI
Responsible AI Implementation for National Non-Profit
Developed and implemented a responsible AI framework for a national education nonprofit, trained their team on it, and drafted the resulting policy. The organization had a basic usage policy but lacked an ethical framework or sophistication in its approach. This engagement blended organizational psychology with a practical ethical and responsible AI framework, producing policy and guidance the organization could apply with consistency as it grows.
