Legal Issues for Small Businesses
 
There are a variety of important legal issues that small business owners must be aware of.  Starting with the formation of the business and determining what type of legal entity is the best one i.e. sole proprietor,
sub S or C corporation, or an LLC.  The business owner then has to consider signing leases, hiring employees, signing contracts, to trademarks and protecting personal assets.  The area of intellectual property is another specialty area. The choices and technical issues for a new business owner can be overwhelming.  This session will provide an overview of many of the most important issues that business owners have to face.
