Neighborhood Small Business Legal Office Hours

Join us for our neighborhood small business legal office hours, presented in partnership with Wayne State University Law School Business and Community Law Clinic. Sign up for a thirty minute consultation with a supervised upper-level law student attorney, who can provide you with legal information, advice and referrals if you are a low-income entrepreneur, social entrepreneur or nonprofit leader who cannot afford a private attorney or do not have access to legal representation.

Office hours topics may include transactional corporate, nonprofit and social enterprise law inquiries or challenges, and select business law issues that you may be facing with your organization. Select business issues include working with independent contractors and pathway to legal compliance (for more details about select business issue topics, please see Eventbrite descriptions available at for our upcoming neighborhood legal workshop series: https://wsusmallbusinesslegal_nw.eventbrite.com and https://wsusmallbusinesslegal_ne.eventbrite.com ).

Please bear in mind that during office hours, the Wayne State University Law School Business and Community Law Clinic can only provide basic legal advice on the areas of law listed above and will not represent you. The consultation is a chance for you to discuss questions you may have about your legal issue.
