Lawyers Paying it Forward

Our top-notch volunteer lawyers from leading law firms mentor and guide our students, ensuring exceptional legal support for startups in our program.

“Startup Legal Garage is an exciting opportunity for law firm mentors to offer pro bono services to emerging life sciences companies, and at the same time, provide instruction and guidance to law students working on real-world projects. The results provide both the companies and the students strategic steps ahead as they enter increasingly competitive markets. As with all pro bono work, it is truly gratifying to give. This pro bono experience is exceptional in that law firm mentors have the privilege of working with some of today’s brightest young minds – incredibly motivated, creative thinkers whose ideas will be tomorrow’s great technologies.”
