Osler x Women Funding Women: the 5 commercial contract terms that can kill a startup before it scales

Startups often sign their first commercial agreements under pressure, a big customer, a key supplier or a strategic partner. But the wrong contract terms can quietly create liability, restrict your product development or undermine your data strategy.

In this session, Christine Jackson, partner, Technology and Retail and Joanna Fine, partner, Privacy and Data Management will break down the five clauses every founder should understand before signing anything, including key issues around liability, ownership of data, privacy obligations and commercial flexibility.

Designed specifically for tech or retail founders, this webinar will give you the tools to:

    •    identify high-risk contract clauses quickly

    •    understand how privacy obligations flow through commercial agreements

    •    avoid terms that can limit growth, fundraising or product expansion

    •    negotiate confidently with larger counterparties

Think of it as contract survival boot camp for startups.
