On Friday, February 22, 2013, C|M|LAW Professors John Plecnik and Mark Sundahl, and C|M|LAW Adjunct Professor James Roosa, spoke to a group of entrepreneurs at the Shaker LaunchHouse as part of the Business Gateway Lecture Series.   The topic of the presentation was Legal Issues for Start Ups: Five Things Every Entrepreneur Needs to Address When Launching a Company.  The professors covered many issues that entrepreneurs face when starting a new venture — from selecting the right entity and raising money to protecting IP, developing proper contracting practices, and complying with applicable regulations.  The Business Gateway Lecture Series is a joint venture of C|M|LAW and the Monte Ahuja College of Business Administration and was designed to share the expertise of CSU faculty with the local community of entrepreneurs.
