Young American woman welcomes tips for lawyers or backers from all over the world (6)
I believe the answer is:
global
'world' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'young american woman welcomes' is the wordplay.
'young american' becomes 'lob' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'woman' becomes 'gal' (gal is a kind of woman).
'welcomes' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'lob' placed into 'gal' is 'GLOBAL'.
'tips for lawyers or backers from all over the' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for global that I've seen before include "All-encompassing" , "Relating to the whole world" , "Planetary" , "blanket" , "all over the place" .)
