The Harvard Law Entrepreneurship Project (www.hlep.org) provides free legal research and analysis for entrepreneurs at Harvard and MIT.  We match entrepreneurs with teams of several Harvard Law School students and leading startup attorneys from prominent law firms in the Boston area.  The teams work together to answer legal questions over the project cycle of six to ten weeks beginning mid-February. Legal questions can cover a broad range of substantive subjects depending on the startup’s needs, and entrepreneurs receive a full analysis of their legal questions and recommendations for future action.  Our past clients have included the winner of the 2012 Harvard President’s Challenge and finalists in the MIT $100k Entrepreneurship Challenge.

To apply for the free service, go to www.hlep.org/entrepreneurs (the application takes about 10 minutes to complete and applications are evaluated on a rolling basis).  The deadline to apply is Friday January 31.  Entrepreneurs who wish to pitch their projects can do so on Saturday February 1 at 11am on the HLS campus—pitching definitely helps your application.  Social ventures are welcome.

Contact [email protected] with any questions.  We look forward to working with you!
