NYSIA: Legal Tips for Startups (video)

The NYSIA monthly meeting for September consisted of a boot camp for startups. I was able to capture each of the segments on video and the first session was around the legal aspects of starting a business. Paul S. Ellis, from Scarola Ellis LLP shared with the group a variety of topics including business entity type (e.g. C, S, LLC, etc.), jurisdiction, shareholder agreements, avoiding deadlock situations and legal issues with regards to financing including angel funding and traditional venture capital funding. Paul also comments on patent issues and other intellectual property topics.
