The San Francisco Community Business Law Center (the “BLC”) is an independent all-volunteer pro bono legal program supporting economic justice by providing preventive legal risk management education and self-help for low-income microbusiness owners who cannot afford lawyers. All of our programs are free of charge to our nonprofit partners and our participants. To create a safe and objective learning environment, we absolutely do not permit ANY marketing, solicitation or referral of paid legal services. While all are welcome, we particularly focus on serving those pursuing microenterprise as a path for overcoming adversity and exclusion, such as: * Women * Immigrants and asylum seekers * DV/SA survivors pursuing economic independence in “break the cycle” recovery programs * Disabled veterans transitioning to civilian life * Individuals recovering from workplace discrimination and retaliation * Older workers transitioning to entrepreneurship later in life All of our preventive business law workshops at all host locations are free of charge, and you may attend as often as you need to. UPDATE: This program is now pivoting into a full-time, more formalized development project. In the coming months, our traditional educational services will continue, with enhancements to support the immediate needs of community microbusinesses in this time of pandemic and economic downturn. But, given the rapidly-growing services gap in this sector, merely continuing traditional pro bono legal aid and legal education models is clearly not sustainable. That is why, concurrently, we will be re-visioning pro bono legal risk management education and other support for the low-income community microbusiness sector in an attempt to scale services using recent advances in legal technology to better serve this population. New website coming soon. Stay tuned.
