Attorneys from Gunderson Dettmer will focus on issues central to company formation and financing and protection of intellectual property. Topics will include choice of entity (e.g., corporation vs. limited liability company); basic tax considerations; employment issues; IP ownership, protection and strategy; and financing options such as institutional seed financing, corporate strategic partnerships, and venture capital.
