Lawyers and Entrepreneurship: Business Plans (offered in the Fall) and Lawyers and Entrepreneurship: Investment Process and Methodology (offered in the Spring) are meant to be companion courses that can be taken independently or in any sequence.
Lawyers can become great entrepreneurs. Even a cursory look across the entrepreneurial landscape reveals lawyers leading many great companies, from start-up to established enterprises, and leading many great and dynamic investment firms with all manner of strategies. Still, too many business attorneys don’t grasp what it truly means to add value, and too few law students set about to purposefully use their legal education to help them become great entrepreneurs.
Learning, as lawyers do, how to locate, define and champion clarity out of confusing and conflicting fact patterns is wonderful training for any entrepreneur. In addition, lawyers and entrepreneurs both benefit greatly from learning how to balance the demands of being a great, subjective, advocate while at the same time being disciplined by the objective facts.
This course will focus on business plans as a way to provide students with a deep understanding of the building blocks of any entrepreneurial endeavor. This class will depend upon rigorous and dynamic student classroom participation and will utilize readings, case-studies and guest speakers to help students learn to develop, critique, and utilize business plans and investment screens. In addition, the guest speakers – all current or former lawyers, some practicing law and some active as investors or operating managers, will share their views of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship and the ways in which their legal backgrounds contributed to their own professional successes.
