PRE-MEETING DINNER at 5:15 PM (sharp) at Bertucci’s, Waltham.

“Intellectual Property (IP) and Business Law for Startups” the last meeting of 2014 for the Boston Entrepreneurs’ Network (E-NET), features a panel with extensive experience in the legal and business issues faced by technology companies and their founders including strategies used to protect those rights while expanding the business. The attorneys on the panel have provided counsel for the wide variety practical situations which all entrepreneurs face. Whether it involves the legal issues of protection and licensing of intellectual property or day-to-day issues like increasing sales, the panel will share the benefits of their experience.

The objective of this meeting is to provide a forum for discussion of the critical legal issues facing the founders, investors, and managers of technology companies. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer (Q&A) session moderated by Bill Byrnes, where you will be invited to present your own legal questions and seek guidance from the panel. While not intended as a substitute for securing your own legal counsel, previous attendees have found this to be a particularly valuable forum for seeking initial understanding of the issues that confront startup companies.

Moderator: William R. Byrnes, Esq. (wrbyrnes@aol.com). Bill’s legal practice assists entrepreneurial companies with the legal issues they face with a focus on day-to-day commercial issues involving customers, vendors, and other third party relationships.

Speakers: Our speakers will be announced later. Please see http://www.boston-enet.org for updates.
