Students, under close faculty supervision, provide legal assistance in a variety of early-stage legal matters, including entity formation, contract drafting and review, intellectual property protection, and other transactional matters to business startups, entrepreneurs, and community nonprofit organizations to help them establish successful for profit and nonprofit enterprises. The clinic targets entrepreneurs and innovators located in the underserved Oklahoma City community who are not able to afford retained legal counsel. In the clinic seminar, students will learn the substantive law and practical skills needed to effectively advise entrepreneurial clients. We will also look closely at broader ethical considerations around power dynamics, advising businesses about adopting a business strategy that focuses on the three pillars of the environment, social, and governance (ESG), and having a more inclusive and diverse workforce.

The Collaborative Clinic is a certified USPTO and Copyright Claims Board Clinic and hosts the USPTO Pro Bono Patent program.

Prerequisites for students enrolling in the Collaborative Clinic: Corporations. Intellectual Property Law will be helpful, but not required.
