Panel Discussion: "Lessons Learned the Hard Way – Start-up Mistakes that Cost Time, Money, and Growth"
Join Lawson Lundell Law for an engaging, story-driven panel exploring the most common missteps start-ups make—and how to avoid them. Through real-world examples and humorous insights, our panelists will share behind-the-scenes stories of businesses that learned hard lessons about what not to do.
We’ll cover key areas that are often misunderstood or overlooked, such as:
• Locking in airtight agreements
• Navigating security and compliance requirements
• Establishing solid accounting practices
• Protecting intellectual property from the start
Featuring two seasoned commercial lawyers, an expert from the securities commission, a Chief Information Security Officer, and a Certified Professional Accountant, this panel promises lively conversations and valuable takeaways to help you steer clear of costly mistakes as you grow your business.
