Learn the essential legal considerations for start-ups!

This session will explore essential legal considerations for start-ups. We will learn about

• legal structures,
• protecting intellectual property,
• using contracts to establish relationships, and
• early-stage financing.

About the Presenter:
Angie Redecopp has over 10 years of legal experience working with two of Canada’s largest corporate law firms. Angie has worked with a range of clients, from start-ups to public companies, from oil & gas to tech companies. In addition, Angie has operated her own businesses, worked for an international human rights NGO, and taught in an undergraduate business program. Her practical experience, combined with her law, MBA, and education degrees, gives her the ability to meaningfully engage and advise on a range of business topics.

Angie is passionate about working with start-ups and small-medium sized businesses (SMEs). When she was envisioning what a return to legal practice could look like in summer 2021, she went looking for others in the legal space with a mission to provide accessible legal services for small businesses – both traditional legal services and services around environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices for SMEs. As a result, Angie has designed her practice around up-front pricing, accessibility and simply making the process of using legal services easier, while still delivering top quality products and advice.

Rapid changes in technology have impacted how businesses interact with their customers. With the increase of the time users spend on electronic devices, businesses have seen the need to engage with their clients through digital platforms in order to drive engagement and sales.

At the same time, a broad selection of platforms continue to become available: web, social media, digital advertising, search engines, mobile apps, CRM databases, email marketing, video and podcasts among others. They all offer an infinite number of marketing opportunities that present the ultimate challenge to businesses: How do we allocate our limited resources? What is the best platform for us to use? How can I better reach my clients?

Join us as we walk through the key components of the digital marketing ecosystem, their benefits and best practices to create an optimal marketing strategy and plan. We’ll learn how to build strategic marketing campaigns that convey the power of your brand and are consistent across all digital platforms.
