StartEd is an innovative project that provides law students with unique new skills and “commercial awareness” to adequately equip them for jobs of the future. It brings together leading law firms, fast growth small business and LPC law students so that law students can learn about real world practical issues faced by new businesses and entrepreneurs.
The project has been pioneering in this space, as acknowledged previously by the UK Intellectual Property Office and Praxis Unico. It is now the largest start up law group in the UK - and run purely pro bono by student volunteers with law faculty support.
The Legal Education Foundation previously funded an expansion of this project at Liverpool John Moores University. Using the deliverables and best practices developed, it is now planned to expand this project further to 2 UK LPC universities; and build a sustainable model for future growth.
