Anne Smith

Professor Anne Smith and her colleagues at Madison Seed Accelerator Inc. were named to the State Bar of Wisconsin's list of Legal Innovators for 2018. According to the state bar website, winners of the annual award are "movers and shakers who infuse the legal profession with a dose of creative thinking."

The accelerator was designed specifically to help entrepreneurs tackle their governance challenges, like board management, financials, and legal and risk management. Smith, who directs UW Law School's Law and Entrepreneurship Clinic, co-founded the Madison Seed Accelerator four years ago with Eric Englund and Louis Condon. Condon and program manager Collin Schaefer are both 2014 UW Law graduates.

A number of other UW Law alumni also won 2018 Innovator awards:
