Our Startup Law Clinic students just wrapped up their last legal education townhall for 2024--they came to present on corporate law, but the audience started quizzing them on everything from insolvency to tax planning. It was AMAZING to see how well the students handled all of it!

I've been having a tonne of fun leading uOttawa's new Startup Law Clinic this fall, but sitting in on the legal education townhalls led by our student caseworkers has been a highlight. They did a fantastic job w/today's townhall on IP and Tech Law issues for startups!
