A class to teach you the secret handshake and passwords to disarm and demystify the law as it pertains to business, art, invention, creativity, secrecy, privacy and all that jazz.
We'll start with legal structures in the U.S. primarily. Then move into contracts, corporations, intellectual property (copyright, trademark, patent, trade secrets) and negotiations.
We'll smatter each Residency with tidbits on negotiations and deal making leading up to a grand bazaar and extreme negotiation exercises.
End result: you are not afraid of the law, of contracts, of negotiating or of asking the right questions (even the wrong ones). Also, you and we and I are resources for one another as long as we both shall text (or email).
