The University of Washington Entrepreneurial Law Clinic promotes economic development in Washington by providing free legal services for small businesses and start up companies that face significant economic barriers to success.

Students will enroll in one of three specialty areas within the Clinic: Business Law; Intellectual Property (IP); or Tax. Training and activities in the Clinic will focus on counseling, transactional and regulatory compliance legal services.
