You have an idea that will benefit society or the environment and you are ready to turn your idea into action and to think about the future direction of your organization or business. Is it the time for you to incorporate? Why is it a good idea for you to incorporate? What legal entity should you select? You will need to carefully consider your options to identify a legal structure that most suits your mission in the fourth sector social innovation space. This workshop will be led by a legal expert in the social enterprise sector Jeff Ward, the Director of the Duke Startup Ventures Clinic and Former Supervising Attorney of the Duke Community Enterprise Clinic. The workshop will also include a Q&A session to serve as open office hours to any social entrepreneurs that have legal questions for their ventures.
