Pro bono services for Western NC artists and art institutions impacted by Helene.

Implement Legal was born in Asheville, NC, and many of our beloved clients, friends, and family live in Western NC. This region suffered catastrophic devastation during Hurricane Helene.

At the firm, we understand Hurricane Helene as both a humanitarian crisis and a cultural heritage disaster. Hundreds of artists in the region have lost their lives’ work, and their homes and studios have been destroyed.
