About

The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Law Clinic (“EILC”) has been an integral part of the College of Law’s clinical program since its inception in 2010. The clinic provides a wide array of transactional legal services for West Virginia based small business and nonprofit organizations in areas such as corporate governance, intellectual property, employment, and other business-related matters. It has played an essential role in the economic development efforts of West Virginia through its educational initiatives, strategic partnerships, and mission focused representation of rural and minority owned organizations. The clinic regularly engages in community projects including collaborative work with the Secretary of State, the Broadband Enhancement Council, and the West Virginia Securities Exchange Commission.
