The University of Connecticut School of Law is opening the Transactional Law Clinic, which will offer pro bono services to small businesses, nonprofit agencies, and individuals in transactional and regulatory matters.
The clinic, which has enrolled students for the fall semester, is the newest of seven in-house clinics operated by UConn Law faculty to serve the community while training law students. Among the services offered by the new clinic are contract review and negotiation, startup governance and filings, entity formation and document drafting, and industry-specific regulatory advice for dealing with local, state and federal agencies.
Casey Faucon, who launched a similar clinic at the University of Alabama School of Law, has joined the UConn Law faculty as clinic director and associate professor.
“Legal costs are so expensive for small businesses,” Faucon said. “We want to be able to provide help to the community.”
