Business Advice on LLCs and Securities Law - A Word to the Wise?

This is the second article in a series by my good friend and attorney colleague, Steven A. O'Rourke http://www.calcorplaw.com. He is a very sharp corporate and business lawyer and he is a guy that other attorneys go to when they want to debate the law. But he is also a guy that entrepreneurs and business owners should go to when they are concerned that they are thorough and accurate because Steve strives to be both. We often kick around concepts that affect the entrepreneurial community and below, I want to share another piece of work that Steve produced as a result of a recent conversation that we had.

Business people are often puzzled that securities laws might apply to their funding efforts. They often believe that, because they are not selling "stock" or advertising beyond word on mouth (or word of internet), or are selling only to 5 or 6 people, theirs is somehow under the radar of the "Wall Street" laws and regulations.

Don't Your Business Meetings Deserve Your "A Game"?

As I wrote last week (http://tinyurl.com/byxveb), I was selected as a juror in a criminal trial in my county in California. At first, like everyone else, I tried to get out of it. But the judge told us that he wouldn't let us out, in part because the founding fathers of our country sacrificed their lives so that defendants could have a jury by their peers. And he added that it wouldn't be a jury by his peers if all the jurors were retired people. So I acquiesced and went along with it.
