Students will represent community non-profit organizations on a variety of corporate governance, tax, and transactional law matters. With the guidance of licensed, legal professionals, students will provide input on the choice of entities as well as draft requisite organizational documents and agreements. Additionally, students will represent existing small businesses and community non-profits on a variety of transactional legal matters.
