Mini Law School: Social Enterprise - What's in a Legal Distinction?
Join us for a series of engaging public lectures that will give you a taste of what a legal education is all about.
This session will be hosted by third-year law student L矇o Bourgeois and , initio Technology & Innovation Clinic, Schulich School of Law.
Whether through business activities or working together for social and community purposes, humans utilize a variety of legal forms to carry out their work.
The terms "social enterprise," "triple bottom line," or "alternative business forms" are used, in some contexts, to highlight business activities that incorporate a social/cultural/environmental purpose.
This lecture will help to demystify how the law approaches and relates to businesses, corporations, not-for-profits, co-ops, charities, and certain hybrid models for social enterprise.
It will be of particular interest to business owners, those involved with not-for-profits, and anyone with an interest in social enterprise, to better understand the legal rights, obligations, and opportunities that exist in this interesting and evolving area.
