This class offers an introduction to transactional legal practice at the intersection of law and business. It is designed for students with little or no experience in transactional business law who wish to learn more about the range of issues that can arise in this area of legal practice. The course topics include initial entity formation, an overview of alternative fundraising transactions, and an examination of several other transactional relationships and regulatory obligations (such as SEC filings). Both legal and business considerations will be discussed.
