Free Legal Help for CO small businesses

Small businesses provide half of Colorado’s jobs. 

They have been especially hard-hit by the COVID-19 economic crisis, with minority and woman-owned small businesses being hit the hardest. Volunteer attorneys have offered to provide legal help to Colorado’s small businesses so they can get back on their feet.

 

https://www.coloradocovidrelief.org/ was created to match small businesses that need limited free legal advice regarding COVID-19 related issues with volunteer lawyers. If you are a small business that needs legal help, you can submit an application and we will ask our volunteer lawyers if they are willing to assist you. If you are a lawyer who wants to help, please sign up to volunteer.

 

The website also includes other resources available to small businesses, particularly minority and woman-owned small businesses, to meet the challenges of the pandemic.

If you are a nonprofit in search of legal assistance, click here. If you are an individual looking for help, sign up for the Colorado Lawyers Committee’s Legal Night, co-sponsored with Centro San Juan Diego.
