Operating and growing a successful small business in the NYC area requires making important decisions daily. The NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS) understands that legal matters and language can be intimidating, and so can the costs of engaging legal counsel. Having some basic knowledge about laws related to your business and legal situations can help you:
• weigh pros and cons
• guide you through important decisions
• save time and money
• avoid possible negative situations
Through free workshops and legal clinics, M/WBE Contract Legal Services is designed to help NYC-certified minority and women-owned business enterprises (M/WBEs) who struggle to afford legal counsel.
We will connect you with attorneys who can provide initial advice and a better understanding of business contracts, agreements, and related legal situations to help you successfully compete for City contracts as a prime vendor or subcontractor.
