Description
Start-up legal training sessions
The Betagroup Coworking Brussels and Field Fisher Waterhouse have partnered to bring all the Betagroup community a new series of free training sessions covering practical legal issues for start-ups, with a particular emphasis on the internet and web industry.
The purpose is to provide the participants with a basic knowledge of essential legal issues in corporate, IT, IP and commercial contracts.
Each session conducted in English will address a specific topic and will be presented by lawyers specialised in their field. The presentations will be to the point, non-academic and will handle the subject with pragmatic approach, based on previous experience.
The sessions will be followed by a Q&A and a drink where you will be able to ask your questions and share experiences with speakers and participants.
Which brings us to the subject of our seventh session:
Negotiating and ContractingAgenda
- Precontractual liability : staying out of trouble
- How and when am I contractually bound ?
- Choosing the terms of the contract : what are the main issues and how to manage the associated risk (duration of the contract, prices, liability)
The presentation will be half an hour long, followed by Q&A and a drink to keep on asking questions to the speaker.
