How to Avoid the Top 10 Legal Mistakes That Can Destroy Your Business

As part of our Wednesday Workshop Series for established entrepreneurs, this session focuses on the critical legal and operational mistakes that can quietly put a business at risk long before problems appear.

Many business owners delay legal planning until an issue arises—but by then, the damage can already be costly. Overlooking foundational legal protections can impact growth, expose personal assets, create employee liabilities, and even threaten the future of the business itself.

Presented by Brian Burt, Partner at Snell & Wilmer and Chair of the Emerging Business Program, this practical workshop will help entrepreneurs better understand the legal risks that commonly affect growing businesses and the proactive steps they can take to avoid them.

In this workshop, participants will learn how to:

• Protect their corporate shield and personal assets
• Manage key employee and workforce-related issues
• Raise capital legally and avoid compliance pitfalls
• Protect valuable intellectual property and business assets
• Reduce the risk of litigation and costly disputes
• Identify common mistakes that can negatively impact long-term business growth

This session is ideal for entrepreneurs who want to build a stronger legal foundation, minimize risk, and protect the business they’ve worked hard to grow.

• Expert insights from experienced business leaders and SCORE mentors
• Strategic guidance to help you scale sustainably and confidently
• Valuable networking opportunities with like-minded business owners
• Peer connections and collaboration with others facing similar growth challenges
• Meaningful conversations that can lead to partnerships, referrals, and new opportunities
