Brooklyn is known as a hotbed of creative energy, but many times aspiring entrepreneurs do not have the financial resources or expertise to put their ideas into action. As Founder and Director of the Brooklyn Law Incubator & Policy Clinic (BLIP) Jonathan Askin has created a symbiotic bridge between startups that need legal assistance and tech-savvy attorneys-in-training. Not only does BLIP work to help new businesses adjacent to Brooklyn Law School, it also gives students a platform to pursue their own “future law” business ventures. Professor Askin’s project was so successful he worked to start a network of similar clinics throughout Europe (called iLinc) at the behest of the European Commission.
