We are excited to bring you an event focused on Business Law. As the saying goes, “the business of doing business” is a very time consuming and expensive part of running or managing a business of any size.  However, it can be even more costly if your “t’s” aren’t probably crossed and those “i’s” just aren’t dotted!  On Monday October 24 YEP Hamilton is lucky to have two prominent lawyers from Hamilton and the GTA chat with us about where and how to begin building businesses that follow the letter of the law. Afterall, it is knowing that our businesses have strong legal foundations that then allows all of us to experiment with ideas, grow our businesses and spend our sleepless nights creating that great “next step”! Hope you can join us.

We are excited to have the following lawyers take the time to chat with us on Monday October 24, 2011:

1)     Brent Foreman of Evans Philp LLP

2)     Filomena Frisina of Gowlings Toronto, Partner

Location: The Hamilton Chamber of Commerce: Harbourview Room A

For this event we will have the following agenda.

7:00 – 7:30 – networking

• 7:30 – 8:00 – Intro + Learn about the each lawyer’s respective firm and background.  What factors have contributed to their success?  What is Hamilton doing Right? What is Hamilton not doing now, what does it have to do to realize its potential?
• 8:00 – 9:00 – Questions from young professionals to the lawyers. Q and A along with conversation about topics about careers in law, what policies and procedures small business should have in place to ensure they are legally safeguarded, how to respond to serious customer complaints, how to safe guard your innovative and developing ideas and other intellectual property etc.
