Volunteer students from the Legal Practice Course at the University of Wolverhampton offered one hour consultations without charge to help answer a range of business and commercial law queries. 

The last clinic was supervised by Niels McKenzie of McKenzie Law, an e-IC tenant and specialist in identifying and managing legal risks to both entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes.  

"Feedback from the tenants is very positive", said Niels, "and the students were able to put their learning to good use in real life situations.  The combination of support from three organisations - the e-IC, the University and McKenzie Law - worked really well and we've already had enquiries for further clinics."

McKenzie Law is one of many flourishing businesses of all kinds based in the e-IC. 

"The Centre offers my business and its clients excellent facilities; it's the perfect place from which to further develop McKenzie Law", said Niels.

Further legal clinics are planned for the next academic year.

Built as part of a £7 million project funded by Advantage West Midlands, the European Regional Development Fund and the University of Wolverhampton, the e-IC provides facilities for start-up and growing businesses to have state-of-the-art business accommodation and hi-tech support from a team of consultants.
