Every founder is focused on building, selling, and scaling, but even the most promising startups can be crippled by overlooked legal foundations. What you don’t know can hurt you, often at the worst possible moment: during a fundraise, a key hire, or an acquisition.

In this webinar, we’ll move beyond the theory and dive into the real-world legal missteps that have damaged,or destroyed, early-stage companies. Our experienced startup attorneys will break down the critical areas where founders frequently stumble, providing clear, actionable guidance to secure your business.

We’ll tackle:

1. Founder Fallout: How poorly drafted founder agreements can lead to dead equity, disputes, and company paralysis.
2. IP Ownership Gaps: Ensuring you, not your contractors or former employers, actually own your product’s core intellectual property.
3. Employment & Contractor Missteps: The severe risks of misclassifying workers and using weak employment agreements.
4. Fundraising Fumbles: Understanding the long-term consequences of term sheet clauses like liquidation preferences and investor veto rights.
5. Regulatory & Compliance Oversights: Navigating data privacy, industry-specific rules, and website compliance before they become liabilities.

This session is designed for founders and business owners who want to be proactive, not reactive. You’ll learn not only what to look out for, but also how to prioritize legal decisions when resources are scarce. We’ll emphasize why these issues are non-negotiable for attracting investment, retaining talent, and achieving a successful exit.
