Feb. 3, 2021 – Small businesses in Wisconsin now have a place to go for free legal advice on issues they face due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the tough economy.
Starting Feb. 5, 2021, volunteer attorneys will meet with clients each Friday for an hourlong appointment, as part of the State Bar of Wisconsin’s Business Law Section’s new Small Business Assistance project.
The project, implemented in collaboration with the Marquette Volunteer Legal Clinics (MVLC), pairs volunteer attorneys and law students with small-business owners who have legal questions relating to their businesses.
“Small Business Assistance will support a wide variety of small businesses,” including those that provide business services; restaurants and bars; retail; health, beauty and fitness; automotive repair, travel and lodging; and recreation, said Patricia J. Lane, section board member and organizer of the project. Lane is a partner with Foley & Lardner in Milwaukee.
