Our mission.
HB Communities for Change is committed to promoting economic empowerment among qualifying minority-owned businesses and entrepreneurs by providing pro bono legal representation. We aim to empower minority-owned enterprises, spur job creation, and expand opportunities for wealth and equity.
What we do.
We help minority-owned businesses meet their legal needs on a pro bono basis so they can grow their enterprises and move to the next level.
We can assist with:
- Business formation
- Contracts
- Employment advice
- Intellectual property
- Minority business certifications
Please note: Only business-related legal assistance is available through this program. Other legal service requests such as wills, estates, trusts, guardianships, civil disputes, or criminal defense, among others, will not be considered through this program.
