“I enjoyed the program, it was extremely valuable and informative for me. I am so thankful for the opportunity, the legal counsel provided both by the students and their advisors at WSGR set me up with the basic documents needed to proceed with the startup's activities at this stage. I hope that it was as beneficial for the students as it was for me!”

“SLG is an excellent platform for early-stage startups, particularly in deep tech, to explore their FTO. Before joining the program, we were unaware of FTO considerations and naively believed that our patent allowed us to do anything we wanted. However, after completing the course, we identified several designs to avoid during development, potentially saving us thousands of dollars in the future.”

“I had a great experience and received valuable legal support over this semester. Understanding that this was a pro bono program, I can't really complain about anything.”

“The SLG program is an excellent resource for early-stage startups like KuriBio. Without this expertise, we would be guessing what the FTO landscape looked like for us -- now we don't have to.”

“My new legal team helped me define what documents I currently need to improve upon as well as create contracts they anticipate me needing shortly. I highly recommend this program as the people are delightful, organized and they saved me so much money!”

“The Startup Legal Garage team has been invaluable in helping us navigate through the formation process. We would not be where we are today without their guidance and could not recommend more!”

“This was an AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME team of professionals. Without them, our company would still be struggling with how to move forward. The work they delivered removed a number of roadblocks on how to deal with certain legal issues, vendor issues, stock issues, internet, IP issues and helped us better understand how to organize to add new folks to the team when needed with a sense that we are doing the right thing.”

“The program was fantastic! As a small startup it is such a balance trying to get C-corp legal work with an ‘in the garage’ budget / team. This really feels like such a win-win. As founders, the ability to ask questions and really understand the process without thinking about the expense of every phone call or meeting can not be overstated. We may have learned nearly as much as the students!

[We] would recommend to any startup that is looking for as much an educational experience as legal services one.

Thank you.”

“One of SLG’s goals is to create active classrooms that connect students with real-world challenges, and you have truly facilitated that. As a mission-driven edtech startup, RightOn has pursued funding opportunities beyond traditional VC, and, with guidance from K&L Gates, the SLG team rose to the occasion, helping elucidate myriad questions — spanning partner NDAs,subcontractor proposal review, and data rights and assertions requested by foundations.”
