Meet the experts - Law

  • The Innovation Centre Broad Quay Bath, England, BA1 1UD United Kingdom (map)

Join us for an exclusive lunchtime session with local specialist start-up lawyers, Sonya May and Nathan Guest from our "Lawyers in Residence" VWV!

In an ever-evolving business landscape, staying compliant is paramount. Sonya and Nathan will provide invaluable insights and tips to keep your business on the right side of the law as you get started and scale up. There will be a particular focus on how to lawfully raise money from angels and VCs (including under SEIS and EIS), the steps to take in preparing for and running a successful investment process, and will include a discussion of the sort of terms that investors will be looking for (and the terms to watch out for). They will also offer some guidance on the contracts that you need to have in place to avoiding arguments on IP ownership and how to avoid landing co-founders and employees with unnecessary and potentially problematic tax liabilities!

Whether you're a start-up navigating regulatory waters or scaling up and expanding your business, this session is tailor-made for you. Gain invaluable insights into crucial legal frameworks, mitigate risks, and safeguard your business's future.

This isn't just another legal seminar—it's a unique opportunity to interact directly with our local legal experts, ask burning questions, and network with fellow entrepreneurs facing similar challenges. Don't miss this chance to meet them in person and gain expert guidance tailored to the needs of start-ups!
