This workshop will focus on the legal issues common to all new business start-ups. We will review why it is important to create a mission and objective for your business before ANY legal decisions are made. We will explore business entity choices, a basic review of intellectual property issues, tax considerations, key agreements to consider, and tools to minimize risk. Students will walk away with knowledge of the legal issues that may arise when starting a new business, a framework to address any legal issues that pop up beyond the start-up stage, and an understanding of key areas of risk that are often overlooked.
