Raymond Fang

Raymond Fang is an associate attorney at Impact Matters Law, where he practices corporate and securities law with a passion for cooperatives, community ownership of land, and the solidarity economy.

Prior to joining Impact Matters, Raymond was a Skadden Fellow at Public Counsel, where his community lawyering practice focused on federal and state tenant rights litigation, anti-gentrification advocacy, nonprofit governance, and eviction defense in low-income communities of color in Los Angeles. In his fellowship, Raymond worked in close collaboration with tenants and organizers in the Los Angeles housing justice movement. Raymond’s advocacy in this space sparked his interest in community development law as a way for communities to realize an affirmative vision for growth and sustainability.

Raymond received his B.A. in Anthropology from the University of Chicago, his M.A. in Anthropology from the University of California, Irvine, and his J.D. from Yale Law School. While in law school, Raymond participated in the Ludwig Center for Community & Economic Development Clinic, where he assisted nonprofits, housing justice organizers, and worker cooperatives in Connecticut. He was also active in his law school’s Asian Pacific American Law Students Association, National Lawyers Guild, and Civil Rights Project, through which he led student engagement in public interest, racial justice, and civil rights issues.

Raymond is conversational in Mandarin Chinese. He lives in Los Angeles with his partner.
