The Harvard Law Entrepreneurship Project provides pro bono legal research and analysis to entrepreneurs in the Harvard and MIT community. We match entrepreneurs with teams of Harvard Law School students and an attorney supervisor who work together to answer legal questions over the project cycle of eight to ten weeks. Legal questions can cover a broad range of substantive subjects depending on the startup or nonprofit’s needs, and participating entrepreneurs will receive a report summarizing the team’s findings.
Please note: we are not able to provide international law advice or transactional services such as contract drafting, incorporation, or patent prosecution (although we can provide research assistance and advice on related legal issues). For help executing specific transactions, please consider the Harvard Transactional Law Clinics. Applicants must have a current affiliation with Harvard or MIT.
The Fall 2025 application will open soon! Please keep an eye out for the application form to come. For more information or any questions, feel free to email our VP of Strategy, Josh Rotenberg ([email protected] ).
