Start-ups Legal Day - Brussels

DLA Piper is committed to the start-up scene and to investing in the future. To help young entrepreneurs overcome the legal hurdles, DLA Piper is holding a Start-ups Legal Day in its Brussels office. The event will take place on September 24, 2015. The event is open to internationally-minded entrepreneurs looking to start their own business or who are looking to take their business to the next level.

Participants will receive practical information about the funding, IP, corporate and HR aspects of their business, hear a case study from Pieter Gunst, a Forbes-ranked Belgian entrepreneur based in the US who co-founded Legal.io, and much more. There will also be break-out sessions where participants can directly enter into smaller group discussions about the key legal questions with DLA Piper's lawyers.
