Event Detail

Womble Carlyle attorneys Tripp Greason, Mike Drye, Murray Greason, Kip Johnson, Greg Chabon and Summer Associate, Frank Schall were in attendance for a ribbon cutting ceremony on June 4 for the beginning of the North Carolina Lawyers for Entrepreneurs Assistance Project (NC LEAP). NC LEAP is a new public service program of the North Carolina Bar Association Foundation. Its mission is to assist low-wealth entrepreneurs with their legal needs through pro bono service by North Carolina business lawyers. Services will range from basic transactional legal needs as struggling entrepreneurs strive to establish their business and create jobs to potential long term client-counselor relations as their businesses grow. NC LEAP will both increase pro bono opportunities for North Carolina’s business lawyers in their areas of experience and promote low-wealth entrepreneurs. Mike, Murray, Kip and Frank participated in a small business legal clinic following the ceremony. Womble Carlyle has made a leadership gift to help fund NC LEAP's operating costs and the firm's lawyers are active in the program's activities.
