The Social Enterprise Clinic serves as transactional counsel for its social enterprise clients—for-profit and nonprofit businesses that use market-based strategies to address social and environmental issues. The Clinic is committed to (i) preparing law students to be transactional lawyers and (ii) providing first-rate legal representation to social enterprises providing services to disenfranchised individuals and communities. As an academic program, the Clinic is geared to students who are interested in exploring the potential power and limitations of market-based methods and thinking critically about the relationships between law, business, and racial equity. As legal service providers, the Clinic advises social enterprise clients on a variety of corporate governance, regulatory compliance, contract drafting and analysis, corporate structure, and entity formation matters. Our legal teams work collaboratively with clients to help them minimize risks and avoid pitfalls as they achieve their social impact goals and implement their theory of change. We believe social enterprises play a crucial role in combating racism, poverty, and climate change by creating sustainable, people-focused businesses that empower communities and drive local change.
