ABSTRACT

So, you are in the heat of battle, pitching your start-up everywhere there is someone giving you attention.

Your team is assembled, more or less formally, or, at least, all of you have shared an amount of responsibility in different areas. Maybe you have hired some external professionals to deal with SEO, design, coding and so on. But what if something goes wrong?

What if you pitch your idea to some company and the next thing you learn from them is that they are developing something similar?

What if your colleagues decide that their responsibility is higher than what was agreed on in the first stages when everyone was happily daydreaming and they want more now that the business is a reality?

Discover in this chapter why you should have a lawyer right from the beginning.
