Course Description:
The Technology Ventures Legal Clinic (TVLC) is a transactional clinical offering for law students at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. TVLC is part of a multi-disciplinary program, the Technology Ventures Services Group (TVSG), in which law students can partner with graduate students from business, engineering, and the sciences to assist emerging technology companies with their start up efforts. TVLC students assist entrepreneurial clients with legal issues, such as business entity formation, contract drafting, IP, IP audits, and/or employment law. Furthermore, classroom topics also discuss raising capital, valuation techniques, sources of capital, commercialization strategies, and other topics that technology entrepreneurs and innovators experience in the infancy of their ventures. This is an opportunity to get “hands on” legal experience, work with real clients, and learn from students and professionals with varied backgrounds and experiences. A technology background IS NOT REQUIRED nor critical to success in the course.
