"Mark Zuckerberg is famous for forming his startup, Facebook, as a Florida LLC. We created this series to make sure you don’t make the same mistake. There’s a lot that happens behind the scenes of a startup, but if you know the legal basics, you can get yourself set up the right way, avoid costly mistakes, and concentrate on what you actually want to do, and thats make your startup a success."

Throughout his career, Larry has advised businesses (large and small, public and private) on such matters as formation, governance, purchases and sales of businesses, joint ventures, agreements among owners, equity and debt financings, federal securities law compliance, employment and option arrangements, protection of intellectual property, and agreements with employees, consultants, vendors and customers.

From 1999-2001, Larry served as Senior Vice President and General Counsel of ClickRadio, Inc., the first Internet company licensed to deliver an interactive radio service. At ClickRadio, Larry found the lead investors for the company’s two rounds of venture capital financing, in which nearly $40 million was raised. More recently, he represented a client in securing (from America’s major record companies and music publishers) the first licenses authorizing a free, ad-supported P2P music service.
LawTrades is a host of exceptional ability. Studies show that a vast majority of guests attending events by LawTrades have been known to leave more elated than visitors to Santa's Workshop, The Lost of Continent of Atlantis, and the Fountain of Youth...
