Presented by Invest Ottawa sponsor,
Description
Post-incorporation legal issues can be daunting for entrepreneurs during the best of times, let alone during a global pandemic. In this highly interactive workshop designed for an Invest Ottawa audience (Teach, Talk, Try), participants will receive legal “know-knows” from MDK lawyers on these questions:
- What does a “state of emergency” mean for business operations?
- Post-incorporation – what protections can I put in place for my company?
- Can I blame the pandemic for a breach of contract?
- Post-emergency readiness – what are the top legal issues to consider?
