The clinic was one of a series overseen by Niels, an e-IC tenant himself, an experienced commercial solicitor and a specialist in identifying and managing legal risks.
"I'm delighted to help," said Niels. "The students were able to practise their interview techniques and give advice in real-life situations on genuine legal issues, while I made sure they were on the right track. We have run a series of clinics since last year for e-IC tenants and they are very appreciative of the help they receive at all the sessions."
McKenzie Law specialises in providing practical legal advice to businesses and 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 at the e-IC in collaboration with the University's School of Legal Studies are planned for later in the 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.
