LAW 2793 - Business Planning Seminar


This seminar will focus on basic business planning concepts and apply them to a business venture over its life cycle. We will analyze, in an integrated manner, the impact of corporate, securities and tax law on choice of entity, partnership/limited liability company formation, incorporation, equity financing through private placements and initial public offerings, corporate restructurings and the eventual sale of the business. Significant emphasis will be placed on understanding the business issues and counseling the client. This course is targeted to third year students with a strong interest in business, in general, and corporate practice in particular. Grades will be based on a series of writing/drafting assignments and students can use the course to meet Writing Requirements II. These assignments may include the drafting of a business plan, limited liability company operating agreement, memorandum describing the legal and business consequences of incorporation and a memorandum setting out negotiating goals and strategies during the acquistion process. Class participation will count for a signficant part of the grade.
