Making Your Passion Your Paycheck: Legal Issues for Entrepreneurs in the Outdoor Industry

Marla Hudgens, Partner, and Holly Logue, Of Counsel, recently presented a webinar in collaboration with the Outdoor Industry Association on the most common legal issues facing start-up companies in the sports and outdoor recreation industry space.

Whether your passion is rock climbing, camping, skiing, yoga or scuba diving, starting a company that combines your passion with the opportunity to pay your bills can be exciting and overwhelming. Perhaps the scariest part of any such endeavor is that we simply don’t know what we don’t know. And one place where entrepreneurs struggle in getting a foothold is around the legal issues that are common in starting a business.

Highlighted topics in this webinar include: intellectual property – filing patents and trademarks to protect your brand and product identity – and employment and confidentiality issues – how to protect your company’s trade secrets and the importance of implementing restrictive covenants to further safeguard your company’s future.
