Entrepreneurial Legal Advice for COVID-19: Virtual clinic for Silicon Valley small business owners

What are your legal obligations and key considerations as a small business owner facing reopening and remaining open in California?

Small Business Majority is joining Santa Clara Law School to host free legal advising clinics for small business owners and entrepreneurs this spring. During these sessions, licensed attorneys--assisted by law student volunteers--will provide free legal counseling on employment law, tax law, and small business matters.

Here are some examples of legal questions you may consider:

• How do you properly rehire your employees? What about workers' compensation?
• Are you considering moving your business online?
• Are you aware of employer responsibilities under California's Paid Family Leave program and about paid sick days?

A legal clinic will also be held on Saturday, March 13, and Saturday, April 10 from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm. All sessions will be held via remote video conferencing and small business owners will make an appointment with an attorney in advance.
