Startup Week: The Alpha and the Omega
After asking some of our clients and others in the Austin business community what issues they would like to see Austin Tech Law Blog cover, the most frequent response was startups and the legal issues they face. Be careful what you wish for.
This week, ATLB will be blogging a "Startup Week" where we'll cover issues from the inception (great movie!) of a company to dissolution, or more optimistically, acquisition/funding.
- Monday: Entities: Which entity should you form under? The pros and cons of each.
- Tuesday: Intellectual Property: If you have it, how do you protect it?
- Wednesday: The Operating Agreement: What issues should you consider when creating it?
- Thursday: Employee Agreements: Issues in employment agreements including noncompetes, nonsolitication, and confidentiality agreements.
- Friday: Dissolution, Acquisition, or Final Funding: What issues should you consider for each?
So check in each day as we discuss the various legal issues you should consider when forming and operating a startup.
