In this Lunch and Launch, John Carter will
provide entrepreneurs an understanding of the various types of "partnership" entities and the "key considerations" before entering into a partnership agreement.
More specifically, participants will learn to identify and address short term issues such as: creating capitalization strategies, implementing management structures, limiting risk and liability, and establishing compensation plans. The workshop will also focus on long term considerations such as: death, permanent disability, third party sales, withdrawal and retirement, and divorce. Last, to be considered are the affects and proper use of Non-compete and Non-disclosure agreements to protect the partnership's intellectual property.
