Client Criteria

The Law & Entrepreneurship (L&E) Clinic is designed to help entrepreneurs develop businesses that create a positive economic impact for the state of Wisconsin. 

We select applicants with a connection to Wisconsin who would otherwise be unlikely to obtain qualified legal advice. This usually means the applicant has not received a significant round of outside funding or financing from investors. We are also interested in whether the work requested presents an interesting educational opportunity for our students. 

Application Process

  1. Fill out the "Request Legal Advice" form.
  2. We will contact you to schedule an initial screening interview. Screening interviews typically occur weekly.
  3. After the screening interview, we will let you know whether our services are a good fit for your legal needs.
