The benefits of joining the bizperc coworking space seem endless—Roasterie
coffee, inspirational views of downtown Kansas City and collaboration with
like-minded entrepreneurs daily. But
now, bizperc is bringing an even bigger benefit to the coworking community:
legal consulting hours from Lathrop &
Gage.
On Tuesday, May 22 from
3:00-5:00PM, Colleen Graham and
Travis McCallon of Lathrop & Gage meet one-on-one with bizperc members to
help answer those percolating startup legal questions.
Next week, Graham and McCallon will sit down with bizperc
members to discuss different legal matters for startup businesses. Graham, an expert in the corporate space,
will guide entrepreneurs through business lifecycles (from formation documents to
hiring employees to selling the company).
McCallon, on the other hand, will assist entrepreneurs with intellectual
property questions such as copyright, trademarks, licensing and agreements.
According to Graham, associate at Lathrop & Gage, many
entrepreneurs confront the law firm after a mistake has already been made. bizperc’s consulting hours can help entrepreneurs
prevent anything detrimental from happening in the first place.
“We see a lot of entrepreneurs when something goes wrong,”
says Graham. “These hours will help
entrepreneurs avoid mistakes before
they happen. Entrepreneurs often need
that extra knowledge and time. It’s all
about foresight.”
Graham notes that Kansas City has a large entrepreneurial
market that has yet to be tapped. The
goal of both Graham and McCallon is to build positive relationships with some
of these KC entrepreneurs and to help them succeed from start to finish.
