Its daring to start a business, it’s even more daring when you don’t have funding to back you, yet there are many expenses that add up before raising your first round of seed capital. 

One such expense is legal fees, incorporating, setting up partnerships, reviewing contracts with investors or clients, all of this adds up.  

Free Legal Advice? I thought that sounded unreal, until I had the privilege to meet with a very special group of local attorneys, this group of incredible individuals donate their time by giving back to the local startup community.

The Venture Law Project’s goal is to help startups grow on solid legal footing. The Project assists with corporation and intellectual property matters such as business formation, incorporation, corporate filing requirements, drafting key legal contracts, negotiating lease agreements, licensing, tax advice, registering copyrights, trademarks, and other related affairs. Pro Bono patent attorneys can discuss protecting proprietary aspects of your invention. The Project also assists entrepreneurs looking to establish nonprofit organizations.

The Project aims to support Miami’s growing entrepreneurial community and increase the viability of local businesses as a resource for early-stage entrepreneurs.
