Posted on January 05, 2011

Before you start your startup

Posted on March 29, 2010
I see a lot of people who are at the very early stages of planning a new business. As a result, I’ve developed an informal standard ‘laundry list’ of cautions to pass along to these clients in the first call I have with them. Many people are surprised to learn that there are legal steps [...
