Business Services

Berkeley Law is a centralized business environment in which all financial transactions are processed on behalf of faculty, staff and students by Business Services, located in the Berkeley Center for Research and Administration at 2850 Telegraph Avenue.  We partner with campus subject experts, such as Procurement Services, the Business Contracts Office, Travel and Entertainment Services, the Payroll Office, and the Disbursements Office, to accomplish these transactions:

  • Purchases of goods and services via purchase orders and/or campus credit card transactions (bluCard and Event Planner Card programs)
  • Travel and entertainment expense reimbursements
  • Payment of vendor invoices and management of vendor inquiries
  • Preparation of service agreements, contracts, Requests for Proposal (RFP), and Requests for Quotation (RFQ) in collaboration with our designated campus Buyer
  • Payments to visiting faculty (stipends, honoraria)
  • Deposits of revenue and other non-gift income
  • Management of credit card payment acceptance processes
  • Payroll

Business Services receives incoming requests via orders@law.berkeley.edu, our internal tracking system. Our goal is to act on your request within no more than four business hours after receipt of your message.

Please don’t hesitate to contact Business Services with your questions, comments, and suggestions about your business transactions via orders@law.berkeley.edu.  If you don’t know how to get from Point A to Point B with your transaction, we can help by providing effective, easy-to-understand information and instructions. Our “Forms and Flyers” library will expand continuously to meet the changing needs of the Berkeley Law community.
