Varnum works with many business and economic development organizations, such as business incubators, private investors and angel funds, to recommend businesses for participation in MiSpringboard.

Qualified participants meet with a Varnum attorney to assess their business needs and are assigned a single point of contact at Varnum, even if their legal needs require attorneys from more than one practice area. Participants will receive approximately $2,500 in free legal services, although it may vary based on the need of the individual business.
