Upward! Foundation
A charitable organization founded in 2020, the Upward!
Foundation was established and funded in principal by the UnitedLex Corporation—the leading legal and technology services company.
Our efforts are driven by the spirit of innovation and collaboration that permeates throughout UnitedLex—our ability to make a positive difference is rooted deeply in our mindset.
Philanthropic Focus
The Foundation provides funding and resources to support programs that address immediate humanitarian needs, strengthen workplace equality, nurture education and innovation, and ensure the sustainability of our environment and world.
Humanitarian support: providing support crucial to the financial well-being and upward economic mobility of individuals and communities impacted by health, natural, and other catastrophes.
Workforce equality: rooted in the belief that success is made possible through diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, talents, and experiences.
Digital legal education: providing access to educational resources that empower adults and young people to build strong financial futures, enable entrepreneurs to grow or launch businesses, and help community-based organizations transform.
Environmental sustainability: promoting stewardship, preservation, and protection of conservation efforts in support a world in which people and nature flourish.
UnitedLex Academy
Established in 2013, the UnitedLex Academy demonstrates the company’s commitment to the legal profession and to new lawyers trying to find their paths.
In partnership with leading law schools and the business community, the Academy’s postgraduate program bridges the practical training gap to promote an evolving, progressive legal ecosystem.
The Academy provides a source of highly trained associates to cost-effectively help clients exceed their business objectives.
Drawing parallels to a medical residency, first- through fourth-year lawyers are selected to participate in an accelerated six-month to two-year program during which they are taught contemporary legal skills that go beyond the typical law school curriculum: project management, eDiscovery, technology, cybersecurity, contract management, patent licensing, and IP management.
Participants work directly with clients and are compensated comparably to a judicial clerkship or higher, depending on the complexity of work.
