• Black-Owned Small Business and Nonprofit Legal Clinic Intake Form

  • The Arts + Business Council of Greater Nashville's flagship program, Volunteer Lawyers and Professionals for the Arts (VLPA), in partnership with Bradley's Nashville office present monthly Black-Owned Small Business and Non-profit Legal Clinics providing accessible and affordable business-oriented legal services.
     
    Lawyers will provide help with corporate governance, review of contracts, and guidance in navigating local ordinances and state regulations.

    Clinic appointments are first come, first served and offered on the third Thursday of each month. Limited appointments are available and registration closes on the Monday prior to each clinic.

    In order to qualify for this legal clinic, your business must have 51% or greater African American ownership, less than ten employees, and less than one million dollars in annual revenue.

    If you have any questions while completing this form, please reach out to our team at vlpa@abcnashville.org.
