Attorney General Schneiderman to Partner with Cardozo Law to Help Start-Ups
April 24, 2015 Capital New York - Attorney General Eric Schneiderman will announce in a speech Friday the formation of partnership with local law schools to help start-ups navigate state laws and regulations.
By partnering with Brooklyn Law Incubator & Policy Clinic (BLIP), the Fordham University School of Law’s Center on Law and Information Policy and the Tech Startup Clinic (CLIP), operated out of Yeshiva University's Cardozo School of Law, Schneiderman hopes to promote regular interaction between government and technology start-ups.
He will also announce that his office is the first state government member of Civic Hall, the new civic technology hub in the Flatiron District, to further connect with the technology community. His office joined earlier this year, followed by the office of Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer.
In his remarks today at Fordham, Schneiderman will talk about the need for the technology industry to work together with government when it comes to regulation efforts. As technology companies become increasingly important parts of the economy, he will reiterate that they cannot adopt a "cyberlibertarian" attitude.
