An Illinois program now offers entrepreneurs a place to go when
they need help with legal issues.
Chicago inner-city entrepreneurs who need legal services to help
them get their businesses up and running can now get free help from
law students at the University of Chicago Law School in the form of
a model program designed by the Washington, DC-based Institute for
Justice Clinic on Entrepreneurship. Among the services provided are
help with business formation, licensing, permit applications,
zoning, contracts, lease negotiation and even some intellectual
property issues.
The program has been approved for an additional three years of
operation, and organizers are in the process of creating a
companion Web site at www.clinic.ij.org. Entrepreneneurs interested in
receiving help should call (773) 834-3129.
