Marquette Law and Entrepreneurship Clinic
About
The Law and Entrepreneurship Clinic (LEC) is a clinical program at Marquette University Law School. It operates as an independent law office staffed by a director and law students.
The LEC serves entrepreneurs creating new businesses in southeastern Wisconsin, with a focus on clients who can’t afford qualified legal counsel. Clients must have a well-developed plan to start, or have recently started, a new business with potential to help the local economy.
The LEC counsels clients in many key legal areas, including:
- business entity selection and formation
- corporate governance
- funding/financing
- business contracts
- employment law
- business licenses and permits
- trademark, copyright, and other basic intellectual property matters
- commercial leases
The LEC does not handle litigation, and it refers businesses needing help with patents to other resource providers.
