Entrepreneurial Law Project - Road Show

The Entrepreneurial Law Project (ELP)—a collaboration between the University of Arkansas School of Law and the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation— provides free access to legal education and programming for Arkansas-based entrepreneurs.

Overview

ELP is planning a series of workshops and events across Arkansas during the 2024-2025 season in Fayetteville, Mena, Morrilton, Little Rock, and Helena. ELP’s goal is to provide free access to legal support for entrepreneurs while providing valuable experiences for law students under the direction of practicing attorneys. This work will develop an entrepreneurial law ecosystem in our communities and help fill a significant gap in support for founders across Arkansas.

Upcoming Events

• September 7 – Legal Education and Assessment Event – Little Rock, Arkansas – Walton College at 2nd & Main
• October 12 – Legal Education and Assessment Event – Fayetteville, Arkansas – Brewer Family Entrepreneurship Hub
• November 2 – Legal Education and Assessment Event – Helena, Arkansas

Volunteer Opportunity

Law students can volunteer to help conduct 1:1 assessments with attorneys and entrepreneurs. Students help complete the assessment form that gives ELP information about the legal needs of participants in the programs. Student volunteers commit to joining for the educational program and attending 1:1 sessions. The program runs from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm.
