Be In The Know: Legal Tips for Your Ag Start-Up
Sponsored by the Agricultural and Food Law Consortium
Topic:
Successful businesses are built on innovative ideas, stakeholder perseverance, adaptability to changing market conditions and a solid legal foundation. Too often, however, the legal foundation is an afterthought and, even then, is allocated limited time and resources.
The purpose of this webinar is to inform attendees of the key legal considerations every agricultural business should identify and address including: (i) intellectual property ownership and protection; (ii) business entity structuring; (iii) employee hiring and retention; and (iv) equity and debt capitalization.
Join us and be in the know.
