They cover business formation, ownership agreements, investors, contracts, intellectual property, employees, contractor classification, disputes, government notices, and major transactions. They also provide six practical tips for working with attorneys effectively and six costly mistakes business owners should avoid. This episode is educational and does not constitute legal advice.
