UNC School of Law's free legal counsel for early-stage ventures, on Franklin Street in downtown Chapel Hill since 2020. Three faculty-supervised clinics staffed by law students: the Startup NC Law Clinic (entity formation, founders' agreements, commercial contracts, asset protection and regulatory questions for for-profit startups and small businesses), the Intellectual Property Clinic (trademark and copyright clearance and protection), and the Community Development Law Clinic (forming and qualifying nonprofits). Students run each matter and are the client's point of contact. Clients come from the Triangle and across the state, with an emphasis on rural North Carolina.
