Coming to America: Legal and Fundraising Considerations When Coming to the USAFor many high-growth European-based life science enterprises, the United States is an attractive country for expansion and/or later-stage fundraising. The U.S. offers the promise of massive commercial opportunities, lucrative industrial partnerships and plentiful venture and growth capital. However, doing business and raising money in an unfamiliar, highly-competitive environment requires thoughtful advance planning and clinical execution.In this exclusive workshop led by legal and business experts from Wilson Sonsini, a leading Silicon Valley based law and business advisory firm, we will discuss best practices for navigating the legal and business aspects of launching and operating a business in America and setting and meeting expectations for U.S. later-stage funding. There will be able time for Q&amp;A following an initial presentation by the Wilson Sonsini team. We will cover a number of frequently asked questions, such as:<ul><li>When should I consider establishing U.S. operations?</li><li>What are important IP considerations to success in the US market?</li><li>When should I look to raise money from U.S. VCs?</li><li>Do I need a U.S. company to raise money from U.S. VCs?</li><li>When do I need to create a U.S. company?</li><li>What is a flip? How difficult is it to organize?</li><li>Where is the best place to set up in the States?</li><li>How long does U.S. set up take and how much does it cost?</li><li>How do I sell/pitch in the U.S. as a non-U.S. founder?</li><li>How is hiring different in the U.S., and what’s the optimal U.S. team?</li><li>Does everyone really sue each other all the time in the U.S.? Is there any method to limit our liability?</li></ul> Confirmed speakers are: <a href="https://www.wsgr.com/en/people/julia-l-minitti.html" title="https://www.wsgr.com/en/people/julia-l-minitti.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Julia L.
