Mission
The Rhode Island Center for Law and Public Policy (RICLAPP) was incorporated in March, 2008. The Center's mission is to provide access to legal services to low income Rhode Islanders, small non-profit agencies and for-profit small businesses as well as to develop public policy initiatives for the betterment of all Rhode Islanders.
Vision
The Rhode Island Center For Law And Public Policy is committed to ensuring that all Rhode Islanders, regardless of income, have the opportunity to access needed legal services. By doing so, we will not only improve the lives of individuals but also assist in building stronger and more vibrant communities. We believe that our communities thrive only when everyone is given the opportunity to succeed.

RICLAPP is proud to participate with Webster Bank, the Central RI Chamber of Commerce, Kara Abrams Consultants, and Slocum Insurance to provide practical information just for small businesses. Often times small businesses (for-profit and non-profit) have specific needs and face different challenges than larger businesses. Collectively, through Taking Care of Business, our team answers questions and provides services to help small businesses grow and become stronger.
Come make connections and network with fellow professionals while visiting with field experts who are there to help you "Take Care of Your Business".

Banking: Payroll, Merchant Services, Investments, Lending, and More
Legal Services & Counsel
Marketing & Non-Profit Management
Business Communications & Grant Writing
Insurance
Want to just network?
Simply write your question on a card and put it in the "Answer Basket". The questions and answers collected will be sent to all attendees; a great way to share ideas and best practices. Increase your referral base and network while learning how to save time and money, attract new clients and retain existing ones.
Announcements and introductions will be made between 5:15 - 5:30 p.m. Door prizes will be drawn around 7:00 p.m.
