Tech for Non-Techies 201. What can lawyers teach tech founders?
Today, less than 10% of Fortune 500 companies are considered to be tech companies.
We are still at the beginning of the tech opportunity.
You don’t have to be a technologist to benefit from this rising tide.
If you work in professional services and wondering which client niche to pick, the tech sector is a very good bet.
There will be new companies being formed and bought, stock market IPOs and licensing deals to be made.
As the tech sector grows, innovators and their investors will need to work with lawyers, bankers and accountants.
They will chose those who understand the industry.
If you want that to be you, listen to this episode and come to our free class for lawyers.
In this episode, you will learn from Daniel Glazer, Managing Partner of Wilson Sonsini's London office.
Wilson Sonsini specialises in advising tech companies and venture capitalists, and has its origins in Silicon Valley.
In this episode you will learn:
- The difference between a lawyer and a strategic advisor
- What lawyers need to know about tech to advise tech clients
- What kind of help lawyers offer start-ups as they grow
