Startup Law: Representing the Company

Catalog description

This course takes students through the legal issues likely to present themselves in the lifecycle of a high growth company from inception through acquisition (the typical liquidity event). Startup Law exposes students to the types of issues, questions and documentation that they encounter as a lawyer for an entrepreneurial venture, but also looks at legal and business concepts from the perspective of the entrepreneur. Students who have taken Law 534 may not take this class. For JD students, Business Associations is recommended as a prerequisite or corequisite but is not required. Final grade is based on a final exam and in class participation.
