Bank ROADSHOW MEETINGS

December Bank Roadshow - Marquette Law and Entrepreneurship Clinic (12/17/20)

The Marquette Law and Entrepreneurship Clinic (LEC) is a clinical program at Marquette University Law School. It  operates as an independent law office staffed by LEC Director Nathan Hammons and law students. Participating students earn academic credit as they  counsel entrepreneurial clients under the close supervision of the  clinic director, and they also work with volunteer attorneys in the  private bar.

The LEC has a three-part mission:

  • To provide law students with rigorous, practical training in transactional law.
  • To provide excellent legal services to entrepreneurs who lack access to the traditional legal marketplace.
  • To contribute to human and economic flourishing in southeastern Wisconsin.

The LEC serves entrepreneurs creating new businesses in southeastern  Wisconsin, with a focus on clients who can't afford qualified legal  counsel. Clients must have a well-developed plan to start, or have  recently started, a new business with potential to help the local  economy. Clients also must be a good educational fit for the clinic. The LEC counsels clients in many key legal areas, including: business entity selection and formation; corporate governance; funding/financing; business contracts; employment law; business licenses and permits; trademark, copyright, and other basic intellectual property matters; commercial leases.
