Employment Law Essentials for Tech Startups

You’ve built a great product, assembled a talented team, and maybe even caught the attention of investors or potential buyers. But your code or growth metrics will only get you so far — if your company isn’t a compliant, acquisition-ready business, you could be leaving serious value on the table.

Join us for this hour-long webinar that will walk you through a practical, non-exhaustive playbook of employment-law best practices every tech startup founder (or soon-to-be investor/buyer) should implement before positioning your company for acquisition.

Key topics will include:

• Foundational compliance steps: from hiring documentation to classification and payroll requirements
• Common legal pitfalls for early-stage/startup employers — and how to avoid them
• Best practices for contracts, handbooks, policies, and employee documentation
• Preparing for acquisition: how to structure employment-related paperwork so you’re clean and deal-ready
• What “compliance-ready” signals look like to investors or buyers

Who should attend?

• Founders and cofounders of early- or growth-stage tech startups
• CEOs and/or startup leadership teams preparing for funding, scaling, or acquisition
• HR and operations professionals at startups navigating compliance or pre-acquisition stages
• Investors, advisors, or potential acquirers who want to understand employment-law readiness
