About this Event
Running a business comes with plenty of challenges, and legal issues often arise when you least expect them. From agreements and partnerships to everyday business decisions, knowing what to watch for can save you time, money, and headaches down the road.
Join us for our November Intrinsic Introductions featuring Mark Mielke, Partner with MLT Aikins LLP, as he shares real-world experiences, cautionary tales, and practical legal pointers based on common issues businesses encounter.
Rather than a traditional legal presentation, Mark will share lessons from the trenches — the situations he's seen, the mistakes businesses make, and the questions entrepreneurs often wish they'd asked sooner.
What You'll Learn
- Common legal mistakes business owners make and how to avoid them
- Lessons from real-world business situations and legal challenges
- Important considerations when entering agreements or working with partners
- Legal questions you should be asking as your business grows
- Practical tips to help protect your business and avoid costly surprises
Who Should Attend?
Entrepreneurs, startup founders, small business owners, and anyone involved in building or growing a business.
Whether you're just getting started or have been running a business for years, you'll walk away with useful insights and a few things to think about before your next big business decision.
As always, we'll have coffee, pastries, and plenty of opportunities to connect with Calgary's entrepreneurial community.
