KEARNEY – Two student attorneys from the Entrepreneurship Legal Clinic at the University of Nebraska College of Law will give a presentation in Kearney on key legal issues facing startup companies.
The presentation’s focus is on corporate and tax implications of forming an entity and minimizing personal liability of the founders. The session will cover various advantages and disadvantages of the most common entity structures, and the student attorneys will field questions with respect to entity formation.
The legal clinic is from noon to 1 p.m. on Nov. 7 at the Kearney Area Chamber of Commerce. The cost to attend is $15 for chamber members and $20 for non-members. Lunch is provided. Seating is limited, and reservations are required by calling Leslie Means at 308-237-3101. Deadline to register is Nov. 4.
