Recession-Friendly Legal Advice for Startups

NYConvergence ORIGINAL
By: Gloria Sin

For just $10.99, 40 lucky entrepreneurs got some affordable legal advice from prominent intellectual property, securities and corporate attorneys at the July Q&A hosted by Ultra Light Startups at NYU’s Polytechnic Incubator on July 21. Ultra Light Startups is a community dedicated to supporting tech companies launch quickly and economically. 

Panelists Stephen Chin of von Simson & Chin, Sam Guzik of Guzik & Associates and Jon Freedman of Freedman Legal Group LLC offered entrepreneurs a crash course on legal basics. Freedman kicked things off by explaining the importance for startups to limit personal liability, Guzik highlighted some of the ways mismanagement of legal issues can get in the way for future financing and acquisition, and Chin offered a general timeframe for registering trademarks and establishing copyright.
