Entrepreneurial Law Clinic

If you are interested in getting transactional tax experience, the Entrepreneurial Law Clinic (ELC) has several client matters that may interest you. The ELC provides critical early stage legal and business counseling to the following groups:

* Technology Entrepreneurs
* Small Business Owners
* Social Entrepreneurs & Non-Profits
* UW & Institute for Translational Health Sciences Faculty Researchers

The services of the ELC center on providing a business with a comprehensive “legal and business audit” that will help it identify issues before they become serious problems. The ELC provides clients with a confidential report ("audit memo"), generally at the end of the academic quarter in which an entrepreneur or business becomes a client. As a volunteer for the ELC, you would be responsible for addressing the tax issues in the audit memo. You would also have the opportunity to work with a supervising tax attorney and expand your network of contacts within the Seattle legal community. Please email Jennifer Fan at jsfan@uw.edu if you are interested in participating.
