A LawBank Collaborative Program with the University of Denver Sturm College of Law and University of Colorado Law School
The Solo Practice Grant Program is an innovative partnership between LawBank and the University of Denver Sturm College of Law and University of Colorado Law School that allows graduating DU and CU Law students the opportunity to start their own law practice in a collaborative setting at a steeply discounted price. Since 2013, the partnership has helped new lawyers pursue their dreams of independent law practice. More information about starting your own law firm straight out of law school can be found in this article.
Overview of the LawBank Solo Practice Grant Program
Recipients of the grant have an opportunity to start their own law firms at one of the centrally located Colorado LawBank offices, which are co-working spaces exclusively designed for and populated by lawyers. The 12-month grant allows them full access to the LawBank property and amenities, including receptionist support services, private work rooms and conference rooms, and a professional setting that rivals any large law firm. In addition, grant recipients have access to mentorship, educational, and collaboration opportunities with over 100 attorneys in over 90 niche specialty practice areas—all for a lowered fee.

Top Quality Pro Bono
A large part of the Solo Practice Grant Program is the acknowledgement that grantees pledge to give back to the community through dedicated pro bono work designed to bridge the access-to-justice gap. This element sets a standard for new graduates to make contributions to at-risk populations, building both their own experience and creating a stronger, more just Colorado.

“The program made me comfortable to go out on my own. It gave me the confidence to say that I had my law school backing me.”
