The Starting Line: Entity Formation, Organizational Documentation, and Issuing Equity

When you are starting a new business, there are many factors that need to be thoughtfully considered. In the first session of our Summer Series we will focus on topics relating to entity formation, organizational documentation, and issuing equity. One of Lane Powell’s tax experts, Eric Kodesch, will offer insight into the tax considerations when selecting an entity. Lane Powell corporate attorneys, Liz Davis, Brandon Mahrt, and Joe Cerne, will also provide additional insights into initial organizational documents, including articles, bylaws/operating agreements, IP assignments, and shareholder agreements. Early-stage financing documents such as SAFE’s and convertible notes will also be discussed.

Startups & Emerging Companies Summer Series – Growing Your Business the Right Way

Lane Powell is pleased to launch its Startups & Emerging Companies Summer Series, an educational and engaging summer program where entrepreneurs, executives, and investors can come to learn, connect, and grow. Educational topics will range from entity formation all the way to preparing for an M&A exit with each of the three events geared towards startups, operating entities, entrepreneurs, and investors.

Whether you are already running a business, or are still in the early stages of building your startup, the Summer Series will be an informative networking event and will offer the opportunity for you to learn and discuss important topics that every business should be considering in a relaxed environment. Each event will kick off with a networking social, followed by a presentation and Q&A session, and will cap off with beverages on the patio and an additional opportunity to connect with others in the PNW startups & emerging companies space.
