Company Law Engagement Seminar

The San Francisco Company Law Engagement Seminar is designed to expose students to the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area through visiting Bay Area and Silicon Valley lawyers in their entrepreneurship practice settings. Students will meet with start-up companies, venture capital funds, private equity funds, incubators / accelerators, technology companies, venture attorneys and various other thought leaders from across the entrepreneurial spectrum. The class will meet once prior to our visits to companies, and once again following the last company visit. Our goal will be to understand how various entrepreneurial ventures are innovating in today’s market and the role that law plays in fostering entrepreneurship and innovation in both early stage and larger companies. Additionally, each student will be assigned one company that the group will be visiting. Students will conduct research in advance of the company visit and, prior to visiting the assigned company, share background information regarding such company. At the last class meeting, each student will give a short presentation to the class regarding one or more unique ways in which such student’s assigned company is innovating in the marketplace. This presentation will serve as the class project for each student.
