John Carter will provide entrepreneurs an understanding of the various types of “partnership” entities and the “key considerations” before entering into a partnership agreement.

More specifically, participants will learn to identify and address short term issues such as: death, permanent disability, third party sales, withdrawal and retirement, and divorce. Last, to be considered are the affects and proper use of Non-compete and Non-disclosure agreements to protect the partnership’s intellectual property.
