Acquiring or Being Acquired
If you are the buyer, ask us about extended due diligence and more extensive warranties. If you are the seller, ask us about pre-due diligence and other ways to limit personal exposure.
Creative
Work
This may be your last chance to effectively protect your intellectual property rights.
Writing
Contracts
Effectively drafting and negotiating of contracts requires a combination of the skills needed to effectively program computers, play chess and play poker.
Adding Employees
Feel free to ask is why you need agreements with your employees to assure ownership of needed intellectual property. the work for hire doctrine does not cover everything you need.
Due
Diligence
It’s usually much better to find out if you have a problem independently and when there is no time pressure for correcting it instead of in the midst of a transaction.
Internet Documentation
In the beginning it’s usually better not to have any privacy policy at all than to have a generic one that may interfere with your eventual sale of the company. Also the terms of use are typically as important in determining the scope of the rights of privacy as is the privacy policy.
Raising Capital
Ordinarily, legal claims cannot be based on a failure to disclose. However, there are areas of law in which disclosures are mandated including the requirement that known side effects of pharmaceutical products be disclosed and that, in raising capital, all material facts be disclosed to investors.
