Legal Innovators for Tomorrow (LIFT) is the LSBA's nationally recognized and first of its kind legal incubator program in Louisiana. LIFT is designed to provide new attorneys with the resources and tools they need to build innovative, public interest-focused solo practices that increase access to legal services for low and moderate income residents of Louisiana. 

The LIFT program has participants throughout the state and partners in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Alexandria, and Shreveport. Attorneys in the program collaborate with experts in various fields as well as each other to propel their business and provide cutting edge, cost effective services. To learn more about the incubator movement, watch the short video above from the American Bar Association that features three LIFT Fellows from our inaugural class: Nicholas Hite, James Graham, and Robyn Griffin.
