Turner Family Entrepreneurship Clinic

4 credits · Law School

The Turner Family Entrepreneurship Clinic represents student-owned startups, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations in a range of transactional matters, including business formation, governance, tax, contracts, employment, and risk management. Clients range from Vanderbilt students with high-growth startup ideas to nonprofits serving the Nashville community. Projects may include structuring a new enterprise, drafting customer agreements, or advising on compliance matters. Under faculty supervision, students conduct client interviews, perform fact investigations and legal research, draft client-ready transactional documents and advisory memoranda, and counsel clients on their recommendations. Students will also conduct a legal education workshop for student entrepreneurs or the general public. Note: This clinic requires that students attend a "boot camp" to be scheduled on the weekend prior to the start of classes. Note: A "no drop" policy will be in place once students have registered. Only the individual clinic professor can grant a waiver of this policy. Enrollment limited. [4]
