Legal and Community Advocacy (LCA) team members oversee all legal matters for the Foundation and focus on key initiatives to help support the community consistent with our Foundation goals and values. This team deals with a wide range of issues and projects, including policy drafting, trademark and copyright law, international law, employment law, litigation, fundraising and grant law, domestic and international contracts, privacy law, ethics, internet law, and non-profit corporate governance.

The team is also charged with carrying forward the Foundation’s goals of advocating for the community in new ways, including fighting for content online, facilitating community discussions about critical Wikimedia Foundation initiatives that affect the community, better supporting Wikimedia administrators and functionaries, becoming a center of knowledge for strategic change management, and providing information about legal and legislative issues that impact online content.
