Good Answers to Common Startup Legal Questions

by Tim Berry on October 14, 2007

Should we start as LLC or S or C corp? Can we compete with our former employer, or hire people away from them? Can I hire all my people as contractors instead of employees? How do I do stock options at the beginning?

These are questions a lot of startups asked, answered simply and practically by a top Silicon Valley lawyer in Guy Kawasaki’s latest post: Ten Questions with Fred Greguras of Fenwick and West. I highly recommend it.
