Entrepreneurs learn quickly that there are many legal issues they must face in setting up and running a new venture (whether a for-profit, nonprofit, or hybrid endeavor), bringing a product or service to market, and financing an entrepreneurial enterprise. Whether you are an entrepreneurship educator, a student, an inventor, a business owner, or a lawyer or other advisor to entrepreneurs, or just an interested member of the public, you can find helpful information, materials and links on this website.

For entrepreneurs, advisors to entrepreneurs, teachers, students and others with interests in law and entrepreneurship, this site offers two large, publicly accessible (no registration required) sections of material. These include a Resource Links section providing links to a wide range of on-line resources designed to assist with identification of legal issues in entrepreneurial ventures and to facilitate access to related information, forms and legal assistance, and a Law Scholarship section with fully-indexed abstracts of articles (both scholarly and practical) dealing with a diverse set of entrepreneurship law topics.
