FAQ

 

  • We try very hard to avoid breaking up existing relationships. If you currently have an attorney, we are most likely able to work with you if your attorney is willing to volunteer to oversee student work. But you should apply anyway and we can discuss options.

  • No, the SLG is completely free of charge! You pay no legal fees and no equity to the Startup Legal Garage or the attorney supervisor. We also do not permit the attorneys in our program to do deferred compensation for the startup legal garage work.

  • Yes! We regularly help companies with a freedom to operate analysis as well as getting their company set up legally. While not every company will receive both sets of services, we can discuss to see if your company is a possible candidate.

  • Generally no. We have many applicants and want to spread the wealth to many companies!
