Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC Central FloridaThe Judge Don Castor Community Law Center, as Statewide Pro Bono Coordinator for the Florida Community Development Legal Project ("the Project") in partnership with the Tampa Bay, Central Florida and South Florida Chapters of the Association of Corporate Counsel is seeking volunteer attorneys from the ACC to provide intake consultations and transactional business law advice and counsel for our Virtual Pro Bono Clinic for Small Businesses. Following a brief small business training, participating attorneys will meet in virtual Zoom rooms with qualifying small businesses to assess their transactional business law needs, provide counsel and advice, and make recommendations to the Project for any additional legal service the small business may need.
Before the Virtual Pro Bono Clinic, each registered volunteer attorney will be emailed a link to the pre-recorded small business training which will serve as an introduction to the topics for discussion in the private consultations. A brief orientation will be held at 4:30PM for volunteer attorneys while participating small businesses are viewing the training.
This is a limited scope pro bono clinic: attorneys will not be required to do pro bono work for the assigned client after the clinic. Malpractice Insurance is provided.
