The Atlantic Legal Foundation (ALF) was established in 1977 to serve as a conservative litigation center for the northeast under the direction of the National Legal Center for the Public Interest.

Like other conservative legal foundations, ALF champions economic free enterprise and limited government including the protection of property rights.

The foundation takes special pride in its work on property rights. ALF trumpets their "deep commitment to redressing the bias against business which manifests itself in favor of narrow 'consumer' or 'environmental' concerns" (ALF Annual Report, 1994). ALF also promotes "sound science" in the courtroom (ALF, "Our Philosophy," 2004).

ALF has received funding from ASARCO, ARCO Chemical Co, Chevron, DuPont, Pfizer, and Texaco. Other funding sources include prominent conservative philanthropic foundations, including the Sarah Scaife, Claude Lambe, John Olin, Castle Rock (Coors) and the Philip McKenna Foundations.
