An evening on the legal, fundraising and admin mistakes that cost early-stage founders money: the founder agreement nobody signed, IP still owned by a contractor, the term sheet clause you skimmed, the VAT registration you missed.

From 19:00, James Burnie FRSA, partner at gunnercooke, covers founder agreements, vesting, IP, option schemes and fundraising paperwork: SEIS and EIS, ASAs and term sheets. Ben Coker of Capsule, a startup insurer, is also on the line-up. At 19:45 the session turns to payroll, VAT, R&D tax credits and contractors versus employees, with a short demo of Saint, an AI admin tool. Open Q&A from 20:10, drinks until 21:00.

Free, at Encode Hub, 41 Pitfield Street, N1. Doors 18:30. Every registration is reviewed.

Why go: a practising startup lawyer taking your questions for free, on the paperwork that bites at the first raise. Best for founders from idea to Series A and the early operators who end up owning the admin.
