A corporate entity begins with a simple filing and fee, yet it lays the foundation for a legal structure capable of generating enduring prosperity. This workshop, led by attorney Victor Wandzel, equips business owners and entrepreneurs with powerful insights and strategies to structure, protect, manage, and sustain their businesses.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll understand how to confidently address issues such as:
Fully committing to your business vision and selecting the optimal entity structure—whether an LLC, corporation, nonprofit, or another form.
Maximizing tax efficiency, securing necessary licenses and permits, and implementing comprehensive insurance protections.
Drafting and reviewing critical internal documents such as operating agreements and bylaws, as well as external contracts including service agreements, NDAs, and employment agreements; and leveraging AI tools to streamline these processes.
Identifying, protecting, and strategically monetizing your intellectual property through copyrights, trademarks, patents, and trade secrets.
Planning effectively for “birth and death” transitions, including personal estate planning, business succession strategies, and dissolution procedures.
Resolving disputes efficiently outside of court whenever possible, with practical knowledge of negotiation techniques, mediation strategies, arbitration processes, and litigation considerations.
