Charlotte Legal Initiative to Mobilize Businesses (CLIMB) provides pro bono business law services to historically under-represented entrepreneurs and small business owners of limited means. CLIMB partners with a growing list of referral sources to reach under-resourced entrepreneurs and small business owners, prioritizing service for people of color, women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, persons with disabilities, and veterans. CLIMB utilizes a network of volunteer lawyers from Charlotte law firms and corporate legal departments to provide free non-litigation business law services directly to eligible clients. CLIMB seeks to advance economic mobility and social justice in our local community by expanding access to the legal system in Charlotte. CLIMB strives to be part of a well-organized supportive network for entrepreneurs that contributes to an increased number of minority-owned small businesses in the Charlotte area.
