Emerging Business Program: How To Avoid the Top 10 Legal Mistakes
When a business owner is attempting to grow his or her company, legal issues are often put on the back burner. The natural focus is on hiring talented employees, securing customers, and generating revenue.
Unfortunately, failing to do some basic legal planning can result in costly mistakes, impaired growth, and even the untimely collapse of the company.
Join our interactive program in which Brian J. Burt, partner and chair of the Emerging Business Group at Snell & Wilmer, will discuss how to avoid critical legal mistakes that can destroy your business.
Topics for this complimentary program will include:
- Selecting the right type of entity
- Protecting your corporate shield and your personal assets
- Why you must have a shareholders or “buy/sell” agreement
- Raising capital…legally
- Protecting your valuable intellectual property
- Managing key employee issues

- Reducing the risk of litigation
- Planning for an eventual liquidity event
