SMALL BUSINESS LEGAL CLINIC
Get Answers to Your Business Legal Questions
Legal questions are part of owning a business, but figuring out where to turn for reliable guidance shouldn’t be complicated.
Through the Women’s Business Center’s partnership with the Western New York Law Clinic, entrepreneurs and small business owners can access free business legal counseling for issues that come up as they start, operate, and grow their businesses.
Business Questions Don’t Always Have Simple Answers
You may know how you want to move your business forward but still have questions about the legal side of making it happen.
The Small Business Legal Clinic gives WBC members access to legal professionals who can help them better understand business-related legal matters, including LLC formation, contracts, negotiations, and other legal questions. Counseling is available through both in-person and virtual clinic opportunities.
Because getting the right legal guidance now can help you make more informed business decisions later.
