When Does Your Startup Need a Lawyer? Steven Weigler CEO of EmergeCounsel

We've all heard the Theranos story of how Elizabeth Holmes lied
to investors about groundbreaking technology and the lawsuit that
followed. Or maybe you watch Silicon Valley and have seen how
Hooli filed suit against Pied Piper for creating the software
while at Hooli.





Legal work is important to startups especially when looking to
create a patent or protect the company from breaking the law.


Key Talking Points


How to protect and build value in a brand.

How can I protect my brand from infringement? (a.k.a. Knocked

Why business sellers should be cautious when international
buyers come calling. They could be trying to get your
intellectual property, which is very common, and caution will
protect you from such buyers.






Steven Weigler is the Founder and Managing
Partner of EmergeCounsel, whose mission is to provide a worldwide
clientele legal counsel on the protection of intellectual
property and business assets at a lower price point than large
legal firms.





Steve's received many awards, including being named a Super
Lawyer for three consecutive years (2021-2023).
