Wikimedia Foundation/Legal

The Legal Department oversees all legal matters for the Foundation and focuses on key initiatives to help support the community, consistent with our Foundation goals and values. We deal with a wide range of issues and projects, including community development, disinformation, domestic and international contracts, employment law, ethics, fundraising and grant law, human rights, international law, internet law, litigation, non-profit corporate governance, policy drafting, privacy law, public policy, trademark and copyright law and trust and safety.

Note: For legal ethical reasons we unfortunately can only represent the Wikimedia Foundation and cannot be the attorney for the community or movement organizations, though the legal team often provides strong support to the community in many ways consistent with Wikimedia Foundation goals.
