Many early stage companies confront the same legal requirements and challenges that larger firms face. However, the funding, revenue, staffing, and risk profiles of these younger businesses means that legal advice must be carefully tailored to be useful. This program will provide an overview of the key issues facing start-up companies, including a discussion of IP issues (patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets) and corporate formation issues.

Attorneys from Phillips Lytle LLP will conduct the workshop. Associate Michael Borello concentrates his practice in areas of corporate health care and not-for-profit law. Brendan Lillis, Senior Associate, concentrates his practice in all areas of intellectual property law.
