Use promo code: IDEA-TO-IPO DO NOT RSVP ON OUR MEETUP SITE. When legal issues rear their ugly head, many entrepreneurs put them off and hope that they'll be resolved somewhere down the road. Entrepreneurs have enough things to worry about, from developing a proof of concept to hiring the first employees; the life of a startup is incredibly busy. Moreover, with all of these demands on an entrepreneur's time, legal matters can slip through the cracks. In a misguided effort to save on expenses, many entrepreneurs hire inexperienced legal counsel or rely on the advice of friends, relatives, and co-workers. In doing so, the entrepreneur denies themselves the experience and legal expertise that can help them avoid many legal problems now and later on. Consider attending this session to learn more on what are most common pitfalls such as: - Not Defining a Founder Agreement - Not Forming the Business under a Legal Structure - Not Having Good Standard Form Contracts In Your Favor - Not Protecting Intellectual Property - Not Having the Right Legal Counsel In this session delivered by Morrison&Foerster we will cover this topic and much more.
