Legal questions can feel intimidating, but getting the basics right early saves a lot of trouble later. This session gives you a practical overview of the legal topics founders face at different stages. We compare the legal forms most common for startups and what your choice means in practice, walk through the key steps and agreements of a clean founding process, and look at how to handle shareholdings, intellectual property and important contracts from the start. You will also learn what you can handle yourself and when it pays to bring in professional legal advice.
