LAW 755 Law for Entrepreneurs (3 credits)

3 classroom + 0 lab/studio
Taught: Variable, check w/ department
This course focuses upon the legal needs of entrepreneurs and their startups. While successful startups may require help with complex legal drafting and transactions-to obtain financing, issue shares, go public, or sell the company-entrepreneurs and lawyers that represent them require general knowledge of many areas of the law. The course will consider some of the expertise that a lawyer must acquire to counsel startups, explore ways that attorneys can better understand these unique clients and develop a practice to serve them, and introduce entrepreneurs, or those who may want to become entrepreneurs, to legal issues common to creating and running a startup.
