SpeakHER Series: Law & Entrepreneurship in Motion

The Law and Entrepreneurship SpeakHER Series 2023 is a virtual speaker series that explores the intersection of law and entrepreneurship by engaging in a dialogue with Small Business Enterprises (SMEs) to unpack their relationship with the law and their lawyers in the innovation economy.
