Navigating Contracts: Essential Insights for Entrepreneurs
On July 8th, our third seminar will be an engaging discussion featuring experienced Poyner Spruill attorneys, plus a special guest speaker—Sarah Clayton, VP of the American Arbitration Association. Together, they will explore the critical aspects of contracts that every entrepreneur should understand. This session will cover key principles of contract law, common pitfalls, and best practices for safeguarding your business interests. Topics will include drafting agreements, negotiating terms, ensuring compliance, and understanding provisions like restrictive covenants (including non-compete agreements) that may affect your business.
