Free Business Seminar

Thursday, October 16

7:00 PM

The City invites current and potential business people to attend a free business seminar on Thursday, October 16. Kha Dang with Perkins Coie will address the legal aspects of starting and growing a new company. Entrepreneurs face many challenges as they pursue a new business idea. The appropriate legal tools provide significant legal protections and avoid future liability. Among other subjects, the course will cover American law on choice of entity (corporation, limited liability company, partnership, sole proprietorship), selection of a company name and trademark, protecting intellectual property of the business with patent, trade secret, trademark and copyright law, and structuring agreements among owners. The seminar will focus on practical steps entrepreneurs can take to build and protect a new venture and to identify potential issues from a business-legal perspective. The seminar starts at 7:00 PM at Kenmore City Hall. To register, visit www.kenmorewa.gov.
