No fewer than 100 of Nigeria’s most innovative start-up founders and top legal experts have been billed to participate in the debut ‘Uyilaw Founder-Attorney Connect’ conference, which fosters meaningful dialogue between start-up founders and legal professionals.
The professionals will attend a conference scheduled for Saturday in Lagos, where they will engage in a conversation about navigating the legal complexities of building and scaling start-ups.
The event, hosted by Edoigiawerie and Company Legal Practice (EandC Legal), Nigeria’s leading Startup law firm, is designed to foster meaningful dialogue between start-up founders and legal professionals.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Omoruyi Edoigiawerie, Founder of EandC Legal and Nigeria’s foremost Startup Attorney, said the goal of the ‘Founder-Attorney Connect’ is to empower Nigerian start-up founders with the legal knowledge and strategies they need to build lasting ventures.
He listed highlights of the conference, including fireside chats and conversations with leading start-up attorneys and ecosystem leaders, exploring key legal challenges such as intellectual property, regulatory compliance, fundraising, and investor agreements.
One of the unique aspects of the conference is the networking opportunities it provides for founders to connect with legal professionals and peers.
These connections will foster relationships and provide invaluable support for long-term growth.
He said, “Our goal with the Founder-Attorney Connect is to empower Nigerian start-up founders with the legal knowledge and strategies they need to build lasting ventures.
“This event is more than just a gathering; it is an opportunity to create lasting connections and provide founders with the tools to navigate the complexities of our rapidly evolving ecosystem- the first of its kind in Nigeria.
“There will be a keynote speech by Oswald Osaretin Guobadia, Managing Partner at DigitA, Africa’s foremost digital evangelist and the visioner of the Nigerian Start-up Act.”
