NIU Law Business Law Innovation Clinic Reception

NIU College of Law will celebrate the launch of its new Business Law Innovation Clinic.  The BLIC will offer high-quality, transactional legal assistance to primarily underrepresented entrepreneurs, small business owners and not-for-profit business organizations.  The BLIC will focus on providing legal representation and assistance in the areas of business formation, Business Enterprise Program certification, obtaining 501(c)(3) status, drafting bylaws, reviewing contracts to sell and purchase, advising on corporate recordkeeping, and general intellectual property issues such as trademark registration. The BLIC is looking to serve clients from the DeKalb and collar communities as well as underrepresented communities in the greater Chicagoland area who might not be able to access these types of legal services on their own.
