Considerations for Cross-Border Funding – Dec. 14, 2023

Session Description

The Centre for Research & Innovation Support (CRIS) in collaboration with the Innovations and Partnerships Office (IPO) is hosting a 60-minute webinar focused on cross-border considerations in company creation.

Most Canadian start-ups expand to the US market where companies inevitably run into both Canadian and US legal issues. Our panelists will share their experiences and advice on how start-ups can avoid these legal problems when expanding their company. This session will highlight the pros and cons of various approaches to structuring your company and discuss case study examples. 

Our panel will include perspectives from an investor and from an attorney from Mintz, a top-ranking US and Canadian based law firm that specializes in servicing life science start-ups. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions.
