The Florida Gulf Coast University Small Business Development Center offers an opportunity to interact in hour-long sessions with 26 attorneys this Saturday, Jan. 31 in the Student Union ballroom, during its ninth annual Entrepreneur’s Law School.

The event will be staged from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Attendees have the opportunity to speak with attorneys and other business professionals about legal issues that are important to the successful management of a small business.

The day consists of concurrent hour-long sessions with attorneys that address the numerous legal aspects of doing business and how to develop strategies to deal with related business challenges, ranging from financial management and tax regulations to business planning, drafting contracts and compliance with employment laws.

Luncheon keynote speaker is attorney Tim Cartwright, the president of Gulf Coast Venture Forum and managing director of Compass Advisory Group. He will be speaking on “The Stress and Frustration of ‘Maybe’ – Why is raising capital so difficult?” Cartwright will define the capital continuum and discuss the basic principles of a successful capital raising effort.
