The Entrepreneurial Legal Services Clinic offers assistance to entrepreneurs with limited income, serving those at or below the state's median income level. Pro bono legal services are provided by law students supervised by licensed attorneys in Kansas and Missouri. In some cases, local attorneys also contribute pro bono services. Underserved entrepreneurs can access these services by applying through our website.

Who we are
The CLEI is a vehicle for multidisciplinary collaborators to form and deploy teams that promote the use of entrepreneurship and innovation in providing high-quality education, addressing societal needs with a diversity of knowledge bases and perspectives, and producing thoughtful and effective solutions to generate public good. UMKC’s CLEI is led by the Law School because laws are involved in virtually all challenging endeavors and the Law School emphasizes training context-aware, creative, brave, and generous lawyers to join in teams that are instruments of positive change in communities, businesses, policy, research, and the arts. We exemplify that belief by partnering with leaders from all fields in common missions to make all of the communities we serve more prosperous.
