Fortune Law Academy presents “Law for Entrepreneurs”
Because we have worked for almost 20 years with start-ups, scale-ups and small businesses of every kind, in many sectors, we often come across legal issues which need to be resolved as part of our work helping these business owners and their investors. These may relate to intellectual property, shareholder agreements, employment contracts, supplier contracts, commercial leases and many more.
We are not commercial legal experts, but luckily we know a firm that is. We have worked with Fortune Law for almost 15 years now and are always confident in referring clients to them.
Shainul Kassam, a Founder herself, established the Fortune Law Academy in 2017 to share legal knowledge, skills and experience with their founder community of clients. This led to a partnership with Imperial College Business School where Shainul now teaches “Law for Entrepreneurs” on their Executive MBA course.
Two weeks ago the latest Fortune Law Academy initiative was launched – Law for Entrepreneurs – a free video series where you can learn more about legal issues commonly faced by founders (such as how to protect your brand) as well as how to deal with issues of the moment (such as Covid-19 advice for small businesses). Here’s the trailer: https://youtu.be/sn41AIJ-GB8
