📣 TRINITI JUREX | Online Webinar: Starting Your Own Business on the Right Foot: Startup Legal Forms & Intellectual Property

The building foundation of every startup is an innovative idea of a business, product, or service, so it is natural that many founders focused mostly on the implementation and improvement of the idea. However, questions regarding a legal form and intellectual property of a startup are critical, as mistakes in these domains are extremely costly – they often determine investor decisions to invest in a startup. 

Let’s discuss these topics on March 25th, at 3 p.m. during the online webinar Starting Your Own Business on the Right Foot: Startup Legal Forms & Intellectual Property together with:

  • Vilija Viešūnaite – TRINITI JUREX Managing Partner in Lithuania, Head of Intellectual Property Practice Group and a certified IP SCAN expert;
  • Giedre Čiuladiene – TRINITI JUREX Associate Partner, Head of Corporate and Transactions Practice Group;
  • Rita Sakus – the founder and board member of the Lithuanian Business Angels Network (LitBAN).
