“The Transactional Clinic is a great way to gain practical experience in business transactions. I was expected to be given menial tasks, but actually wrote several complex contracts including contracts for the international sale of goods, secured loan agreements, and company operating agreements.” – Daniel Favian, 2L, Transactional Clinic F’08

THE TRANSACTIONAL CLINIC provides students with the perspective of the business decision maker. Students assist small businesses and non-profit organizations with legal matters encountered on a daily basis, including negotiating lease agreements, selecting a proper organizational structure, developing employment policies, and the buying and selling of businesses. Through close consultation with supervising faculty, students engage with their business clients not only in providing legal solutions to problems, but also by giving advice that complements and enhances the clients’ business strategies.
The Transactional Clinic has a classroom component that meets for two hours a week for 14 weeks over the course of the semester. The classroom component provides students with a solid grounding in interviewing, counseling, negotiating, and drafting.
The Transactional Clinic is a 3 unit graded course offered the Fall and Spring semesters. Prerequisite: Good Academic Standing. Professional Responsibility is strongly recommended.
