Nelm Advogados initiative will map legal difficulties
The exponential growth of the startup market, increasingly sophisticated, increases the need for a good structuring of ventures and investments in the sector.
Regardless of their innovative character, startups must submit to the same legal obligations as a joint venture. Numerous legal aspects need to be taken into account when undertaking or investing in the startup ecosystem. Often, however, these aspects are left out, which can have negative consequences.
To understand the dimension and the effects of this reality, Nogueira, Elias, Laskowski and Matias Advogados (NELM) developed a comprehensive survey on the most critical points to be considered by entrepreneurs and investors in the legal field. The Legal Panorama of Startups, a survey that has the institutional support of ABES, includes practical issues such as, for example, disagreements related to not having signed a partnership agreement or losses resulting from ignoring the ideal tax regime for the enterprise.
“The research will lead to a comprehensive mapping of the main difficulties that arise in the relationship between startups and the law, allowing ecosystem actors to know which aspects cannot be ignored if they want to ensure the success of their ventures and investments”, says Eduardo Felipe Matias, partner in the business area of NELM and coordinator of the guide Empreendendo Direito: Legal Aspects of Startups.
The survey has a questionnaire aimed at entrepreneurs and another one for investors, both with 10 practical and objective multiple-choice questions, whose answers should not take more than 5 minutes. To participate, simply go to the “PLS Survey” section of the NELM Startups page: www.startups.nelmadvogados.com, where it is also possible to obtain news on the subject and download the free Empreendendo Direito guide.
Individual responses are confidential, but aggregated results will be made public. Thus, by participating, the interviewees will be helping to improve the understanding of the risks and benefits of some current practices, thus contributing to the strengthening of the innovation ecosystem in the country.
