Legal Decision Making Support
Implementation of Legislative Mandates
Programs that provide information and/or professional guidance for organizations that are in the process of implementing new federal or state legislation.
Intellectual Property Law Training/General Information
Programs that provide training, printed materials or other sources of information which introduce participants to the general concepts involved in intellectual property law; help them understand the distinction between copyrights, patents and trademarks; and develop a general idea about how intellectual property protection may benefit their organization. These informational forums are not intended to be substitutes for legal counseling or representation. Nonprofit organizations, small businesses and other groups that need support in preparing applications for copyrights, patents or trademarks or have cases involving infringements of their rights are encouraged to seek legal counsel.
Organizational Start Up Services
Programs that help newly formed organizations determine the legal status under which they will operate; and prepare the paperwork that is required for formal registration with local, state and federal authorities as well as apply for business licenses or permits which provide written authorization for them to operate a business within a specific local jurisdiction.
Strategic Restructuring Services
Programs that help nonprofit organizations, small businesses and other groups that may be experiencing environmental challenges, reductions in funding, organizational problems or other issues determine whether strategic restructuring is a viable option to help them better achieve their mission. Strategic restructuring refers to a continuum of partnership relationships such as mergers, joint ventures and administrative consolidations, which allow multiple organizations to leverage their combined talents and resources by working together in a competitive environment. Strategic restructuring differs from strategic alliances in that they involve a change in the locus of control for at least a portion of one or more of the organizations involved.
