How To Launch a Startup and Avoid Ending-up in Jail
by Scott Edward Walker on June 23rd, 2011Introduction
I love working with startups and trying to protect founders (and watch their backs).

“Ask the Attorney” – Beware of Finders
by Scott Edward Walker on February 24th, 2010Introduction
This post is part of my weekly “Ask the Attorney” series which I am writing for VentureBeat (one of the most popular websites for entrepreneurs). As the VentureBeat Editor notes on the site: “Ask the Attorney is a new VentureBeat feature allowing start-up owners to get answers to their legal questions.”
I have two goals here: (i) to encourage entrepreneurs to ask law-related questions regardless of how basic they may be; and (ii) to provide helpful responses in plain English (as opposed to legalese). Please give me your feedback in the comments section. Many thanks, Scott
