LAW 671LEC - Startup Law: From Idea to Exit

The legal needs of high-growth startups are unique, vast and often fast paced for the practitioner. Understanding both the business considerations and legal implications are critical. This course will guide students through the legal and business world of high-growth startups and an attorney?s role in that process. Topics will include formation, capitalization, control structures, tax planning, business valuations, raising funds, ethical considerations, investor relations, and exit transactions for the startup. Students will be expected to participate in simulated exercises which provide real-world application of topics discussed in the course. There are no formal prerequisites for this course, however, a background knowledge of business structures and finance would be useful.
