Fwd: Harvard Law School Transactional Law Clinic

[Sarah Clark]

Hi Team,

Art, Michael and I were able to talk briefly with his contact, Amanda, at the Harvard law clinic last week and she has connected us with a law student, Lauren, who can work with us to help determine where to incorporate (and how). It's an amazing resource!

I proposed talking with Lauren on Friday the 20th at 11am EDT. Can you join us for a conference call then as well? I hope so! If not, I'll of course keep you closely informed of our discussion.

Lauren could help us with one of two things:

1. Identify which state to incorporate in (what are the pros and cons, what are the requirements of Virginia, DE, California, etc and how do they compare). OR,

2. If we choose to incorporate in DE, they can assist us with all the paperwork, and the whole process. (The lawyers in the Harvard law clinic can only help businesses incorporate in MA or DE.) 

Michael, have I captured this correctly?

I'm also waiting to hear back from my family lawyer friend Harry about his recommendations regarding the "where" question, and will keep you posted about that as well. 

Sending many well wishes to you both!

Sarah

Dear Lauren,

Thank you very much for your email, we are delighted to work with you! 

May we plan on speaking via conference call Friday September 20th at 11am EDT? And do you have a conference call line that we may use? Otherwise, we've used Google Voice in the past with Amanda and it has worked reasonably well.

Thank you again and looking forward to talking more soon,

Best regards,

Sarah

Hi Lauren,

Currently, all three times work for me. I've cc'ed here Sarah Clark, another of the potential owners for Catalyze Ventures, to see her availability as well.

Hi team,

Sarah, I think you got that just right!

One thing I would add is that Amanda noted that there are many legal clinics across the US, so even if the decision was made to incorporate in CA, VA, or elsewhere - there would likely be clinics in those states with the authority to practice there.
