The Austin Web Design & Developer Meetup Group Monthly Meetup

January topics:

Law-savvy: What you must knowabout the law to be a successfulentrepreneur Presented by Jenny Allenbaugh (http://www.counseljen.com/) (@counseljen (https://twitter.com/counseljen)), lawyer

You’re smart, ambitious and scrappy. But do you know the legal basics needed to launch and run your own business endeavor? Jenny will highlight the areas of the law that small business owners should be aware of to avoid costly pitfalls. It’s not enough for startups to prepare to receive venture capital, which is a whole other topic for a different Refresh meetup. Join Jenny for a checklist of legal concerns exploring intellectual property (patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets), contract law and business formation.

It’s that time again. 2013 is upon us, and the question on the top of our minds is: What should Refresh Austin’s resolutions for the new year be? We have some ideas, and we bet you might too. We’re a community that thrives on collaboration, and we want to hear from you.
