Free Legal Advice for New and Established Small Businesses

On the morning of September 12, 2006, Philadelphia LawWorks (a project of Philadelphia VIP) will sponsor the third annual Corporate Pro Bono Day (CPBD). CPBD provides corporate counsel with training on small business issues (2 hours of free CLE), and then those counsel consult with Philadelphia-area small businesses on immediate and ongoing legal issues.

The event is co-sponsored by the Association of Corporate Counsel’s Delaware Valley Chapter (DELVACCA) and CorporateProBono.Org. CPBD will be hosted by The Enterprise Center, a minority business development center located in the historic American Bandstand Building in West Philadelphia. Blank Rome LLP will provide training, transportation for the volunteers to The Enterprise Center from Center City, breakfast and snacks.

Past volunteer participants for CPBD include PECO Energy; Comcast Cable Communications, LLC; Arkema Inc.; GlaxoSmithKline and many others. For more information about CPBD, please call Martin Costello at (215) 523-9562 or visit our website http://www.philadelphialawworks.org/.
