A practical 10-week virtual series helping business owners understand legal risks before they become costly problems.
Most legal problems in business do not begin in court. They begin much earlier, with unclear ownership arrangements, missing records, handshake agreements, poorly understood contracts, unpaid invoices, undocumented workers, personal guarantees, unexpected tax issues, or succession plans that were never put into writing.
This 10-week virtual Lunch & Learn series is designed for Pictou County business owners, entrepreneurs, managers, and operators who want to better understand the legal issues that arise throughout the life of a business – from start-up and growth to succession and exit planning.
Each session will explore practical business scenarios and real-world examples to help participants identify common legal risks and understand the steps they can take to address issues before they become costly problems. Whether you are launching a new venture, managing an established organization, or planning for the future, this series will provide valuable insights to help you make informed business decisions.
