Services We Offer
The Entrepreneurs’ Law Clinic offers two opportunities to receive services:
- The Entrepreneurs’ Law Clinic (ELC)
The Entrepreneurs’ Law Clinic is a transactional clinic, in that ELC students work on transactions crucial to startup companies, such as business entity formation, financing, operational contracts, company policy, website terms of service, and intellectual property licensing. Please note that although the ELC can take on projects relating to intellectual property (such as contracts, trademark searches, and instructions for how to file for trademark and copyright registration), the ELC does not actually file applications for patent, trademark, or copyright registration, and does not do litigation (lawsuits). Read more about these services. - Broncos Entrepreneurs Advisory Clinic Hours
Broncos Entrepreneurs Advisory Clinic (“BEACH”) is a “mini-clinic” in which business owners and entrepreneurs meet with experienced licensed pro bono business attorneys and business professionals along with student volunteers about business and legal challenges they may have. BEACH takes place over two brief sessions: 1) a scheduled informational interview, followed by 2) a scheduled advising session that takes place after students research solutions to the challenges the entrepreneur is facing. The sessions are for a set time, typically between 30 and 60 minutes.Read more about these services.
Client Testimonials
“The ELC has been extremely helpful to me as I develop and launch my new nonprofit. They have helped with my initial filing for a 501c3, the trademark and copyright procedures and my terms of service agreement for my web site. The law students are energetic, competent and highly professional. I am so grateful for the leadership and supervision of Professor Norris and the entire ELC team.” – ELC client
