This week, Bob and Pat talk with Hal Ostrow, founder of MIStartupLawyer.com – an innovative, subscription-based Michigan law firm focusing on startups.
Having an attorney who understands the challenges and pitfalls of creating a startup is priceless – and usually priced out of consideration for most startups. Hal’s $150 a month subscription approach to lawyering for Michigan startups is a great way to get the law stuff you need.
For your money, you get an LLC Articles of Organization, and Operating Agreement, quarterly meetings with Hal and access to Hal for those vexing quick legal questions.
We talk about which is the best legal entity for startups, how a good LLC Operating Agreement can steer you around various legal pitfalls, why cut and paste things like privacy policy and terms of service can come back to bite you hard and more.
Tired of being stuck in neutral in your startup? Why not do a MicroConsult with Bob Walsh? Instead of hypotheticals and too much information, Bob will work with you for an hour via Skype developing 8 to 10 specific todos that will get your startup in gear. Details at 47hats.com.
