Representing the Start-Up Venture Institute (2015)

Technically, any new business is a “start-up,” regardless of what it does. But there are significant differences between a “small business” that is engaged in a basic retail or service business operated by its founders, and a “venture start-up” backed by outside investors, that is engaged in a manufacturing, high technology or media business. This cutting edge Institute program focuses on representing the venture start-up and dealing with the often complicated legal, tax, financial and ethical issues involved in working with fast-growing enterprises run by time challenged entrepreneurs and backed by professional investors.
