The Startup Legal Garage, is an innovative program in which law students provide legal work for early stage Tech and BioTech startups. The work is supervised for free by outside law firms, while the professors teach accompanying doctrinal and skills classes. Every year our students and supervising attorneys take on about 50-60 projects.   

Most of Startup Legal Garage’s companies come through the program's partnerships with numerous incubators and accelerators, including QB3 (the incubator for UCSF, UC Berkeley, and UC Santa Cruz),Y Combinator, Cyclotron Road, Tech Futures Group, UC Merced Venture Fund, HustleFund, Stanford Business School, Hackers/Founders, Women 2.0, and Black Founders, and others. With its particular focus on promoting women entrepreneurs, Startup Legal Garage has received one of the inaugural "Innovator Awards" from the American Lawyer publications, was honored by the Association of American Law Schools as one of its "Innovative & Other Outstanding Programs," and has been featured in the American Bar Association Journal and other news outlets.

Startup Legal Garage was founded in 2010 by Professor Robin Feldman. Professor Paul Belonick serves as Director.
