On March 13, 2018, SFGH associate Jack O’Connor moderated a West LegalEd Center/Financial Poise webinar titled “Human Resources 101” as part of its 2018 series “Advising the Startup.”

How does a company identify and attract talented individuals? What about recruiting and hiring? Training? Retention? Dealing with problem employees? These issues, of course, are not unique to startups, but do experience them somewhat differently than more mature companies.

This webinar focused on talent acquisition and management in a startup environment, including how to negotiate employment or consulting agreements, granting options, and related agreements with potential hires. Appropriate for founders and their counsel alike, this webinar covered common legal pitfalls and how to avoid them.
