We are fortunate enough to have earned the funding for two clinicians at Surrey PICS, UBC and Coquitlam. Overall we were able to hire 18 full time clinicians this summer. Every clinic site also has between 2 and 4 volunteer clinicians assigned to that location. We are confident that this summer will be busy but manageable due to funding, teamwork and the number of eager new summer clinicians.

Law students enrolled in the pilot Business Law Clinic at the Allard School of Law are now offering supervised legal advice to segments of the small business, entrepreneurial, and non-profit communities in British Columbia who have limited means of paying for legal services.

The Clinic may assist clients with the following:

  • Answering general legal questions regarding small business or non-profit matters
  • Reviewing an existing contract or lease and explaining what it means to the client
  • Explaining the difference between various business structures including a sole proprietorship, partnership and corporation
  • Other business oriented legal advice related to a client’s unique legal issue

The Clinic may draft legal documents, including:

  • allard_presentConstitution, by-laws and incorporation forms for a non-profit society
  • Articles, resolutions, registers and share certificates for a private company
  • Partnership Agreements
  • Non-competition Agreements
  • Confidentiality Agreements
  • Supplier Agreements
  • Offers of employment
  • Privacy Policies
  • Other documents as determined by the supervising lawyer

How can I become a client?

In order to access legal services through the Clinic, a prospective client must be aallard_shaking small business owner, entrepreneur, or non-profit organization and must satisfy certain eligibility criteria. To determine eligibility, prospective clients must complete an on-line application which is available on the Clinic’s website. Qualified clients will then be contacted to set up an interview appointment.
