Choosing an Operational Entity

Whether you are looking to start an internet design business or other high-tech company, it is of vital importance to select the proper business entity. Your choice will have a significant impact upon the laws you will be subjected to, as well as personal and tax liabilities.

Taking Measures of Protection When Forming an IP Company

When forming a technology-based business, extra legal precautions must be taken. Besides choosing an operational entity, developing partnership agreements and drafting employee handbooks, it is imperative to:

  • Draft comprehensive legal documents that clearly outline who owns the intellectual property used by the business, work for hire agreements or other employment contracts
  • Develop non-compete agreements and policies regarding trade secret

Clearly defining expectations surrounding intellectual property from the very beginning can help prevent costly legal action further down the road.
