Masterclass #3: The Legal Essentials for Protecting Your Startup

A legal masterclass for founders at the Cegid Innovation Hub inside STATION F. Serge Vatine, CEO and partner at BOLD and a lawyer at the Paris Bar, works through the things that get expensive when you find them out too late. Covered: partner relationships and governance, intellectual property and patents, commercial contracts, how fundraising is structured, employment contracts with confidentiality and non-compete clauses, GDPR compliance, and the usual traps. Format is a 60-minute presentation, then 15 minutes of group questions. Serge stays on afterwards for individual questions. 10:00 to 12:00, 5 parvis Alan Turing, 75013. Free, registration subject to approval. Why go: a practising lawyer going down the list, rather than a panel skating over it. Best for seed-stage founders who do not yet have counsel.
