LAW 675 - Law & Entrepreneurship Seminar

2

The intersection of law and entrepreneurship is an emerging field of study. This course explores the legal and economic issues faced by highly innovative start-up companies, their entrepreneurs, financiers (angel investors and venture capitalists), and lawyers. The course is loosely structured around the life cycle of a start-up company - from inception to financing to governance and finally exit - with the primary focus on entrepreneurial finance. Classroom sessions are a mix that may include lecture, outside speakers, and presentations by the students. Grading is based on a presentation, final paper, and classroom participation.
