PHILADELPHIA - (Business Wire) On the morning of November 17, 2009, Philadelphia LawWorks, a project of Philadelphia VIP, will sponsor the sixth annual Corporate Pro Bono Day (CPBD). Other event sponsors include the law firm DLA Piper, The Enterprise Center, the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel, and Corporate Pro Bono. CPBD provides microentrepreneurs the opportunity to discuss immediate and ongoing legal matters with corporate counsel from various Philadelphia-area businesses at no cost. Past volunteers include counsel from PECO Energy, Comcast Cable Communications, Pep Boys, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, and many others. CPBD will be hosted by The Enterprise Center, a minority business incubator program located in the historic American Bandstand Building in West Philadelphia. Prior to the counseling sessions, attorneys from Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, LLC will provide a continuing legal education seminar on the essential legal needs of small businesses. This year’s CPBD promises to be the biggest and most successful to date, with small business owners receiving expert legal advice on the original dance floor of Philadelphia’s own American Bandstand. Past participants have counseled a variety of microentrepreneurs, including a clothing company, a wireless phone store, a clothing designer, a caterer, a photographer, and a handbag designer. Many of the microentrepreneurs attending the event are local minority and women business owners and operators located along newly revitalized commercial corridors.
