International Expansion: Legal Essentials for Founders
Expanding your startup internationally opens new markets and opportunities, but it also creates a complex web of legal questions. In this live Zoom webinar, lawyers Felix Hilgert, Lindsey Mignano, and Jihan Merlin will walk through the core legal concepts every founder should understand before and during cross‑border expansion.
We will discuss:
Common entity and structural options for international operations
Contract, IP, and data/privacy considerations across jurisdictions
Typical risks for early‑stage companies and how to mitigate them
Practical tips on working with counsel and planning ahead for growth
Managing Immigration questions early on
This session is designed for early‑stage and scaling founders, operators, and in‑house counsel who are navigating or planning international expansion. There will be time for live Q&A, so please bring your questions.
