The LawWorks project of Philadelphia VIP and the African-American Chamber of Commerce are cosponsoring a free 1-on-1 legal clinic for area microenterprises on March 24, 2010 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm (morning session) and 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm (afternoon session).

This legal clinic provides microentrepreneurs the opportunity to discuss immediate and ongoing legal matters with a volunteer attorney. This event provides an invaluable resource for area businesses and gives attorneys the opportunity to directly impact the community.

Likely issues include choice of entity, employment, contracts, real estate, intellectual property and tax.

Volunteers should have a minimum of three years of experience. Volunteers will not have to have any continuing obligation to the client after the event. See attached flyer and attorney skill sheet request form attached.

The event will be held at the Community College of Philadelphia's Center for Business & Industry, Rm. C2-5, 18th & Callowhill, in Center City
