Bet Tzedek’s Small Business Development Project assists small business owners from underrepresented and marginalized communities, with their transactional legal issues as they seek to start, maintain, or grow their business. The Small Business Development Project does this in two ways: (1) conducting educational outreach, such as webinars and clinics on pertinent topics like entity formation, commercial leasing, contracts basics, employment laws, and intellectual property, and (2) arranging for direct representation (through our pro bono network) for eligible small business owners for their transactional issues.
