Entrepreneurship Law Center

The Entrepreneurship Law Center, part of Northwestern University School of Law's Bluhm Clinic, is a non-profit, student-based, clinical program that provides intensive, hands-on training for students who want to be transactional lawyers or founders of start-up companies. Under the supervision of clinical faculty and staff, law and business students work together to represent start-up companies, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit organizations. Although its principal purpose is to train students for leadership positions in law and business, the Center also provides a valuable service to the community by helping many nonprofit organizations and other clients who could not otherwise afford legal assistance. Students participating in the Entrepreneurship Law Center provide affordable legal advice on matters such as incorporation, trademark registration, copyright protection, and contract review.
