The Initiative's primary activities are to provide, on a pro bono basis, legal resources, workshops and clinics, as well as one-on-one direct pro bono representation. NBI recently celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2021. More than 1,000 Goodwin professionals have devoted 40,000+ hours to provide business-related pro bono legal services to hundreds of small business clients nationwide. Goodwin dedicates 3% to 5% of its annual hours to pro bono representation and serves over 1,000 clients each year. Founders Workbench In 2010, Goodwin launched Founders Workbench, a first-of-its-kind open source legal advisory resource designed to help entrepreneurs navigate the legal and organizational challenges faced by startups and emerging businesses, with free start-up document creation capability. In March 2013, Goodwin launched an updated version of Founders Workbench, which now included legal documents for establishing Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) and introduced new web mobile apps for managing finances and understanding relevant legal and business terms. The site has been recognized by the Legal Marketing Association, InformationWeek, and CIO.
