S&W Press ReleaseBoston, MA --- Technology entrepreneurs take note – a new resource is available to explain the myriad of legal and business issues that face growing companies. Lifecycle of a Technology Company: Step-by-Step Legal and Practical Guide from Startup to Sale (2008, Wiley) provides comprehensive, yet easy-to-understand advice about the key legal and business issues that arise over the life of an emerging-growth company. Written by Edwin L. Miller, a partner with Boston’s Sullivan & Worcester LLP, the book provides practical, hands-on advice for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, investment professionals, lawyers and students alike. The book covers a wide range of issues relating to choice of entity, equity arrangements among founders, tricks and traps in venture financing and debt financing, the basics of intellectual property protection and license agreements, how to prepare for an IPO, and a detailed explanation of the mergers and acquisitions process. “Early mistakes can have devastating consequences at later stages,” explains Miller. “I wanted to apply my 35 years of experience in corporate and securities law to help entrepreneurs and others understand and avoid the pitfalls that arise at every phase in the life of a technology company.” Dr. George B. Kenney, Associate Director Materials Processing & Microphotonics Centers at MIT, writes “Lifecycle of a Technology Company is a comprehensive business and legal handbook for all but the most experienced technology entrepreneurs. I shared my copy with a few colleagues at MIT who have either started or are contemplating launching their own companies and I had a real problem retrieving it!” He adds, “The data supports my opinion that this book will attain ‘handbook’ status on the desks of technology entrepreneurs.” Edwin L. Miller Jr. is a partner with the law firm of Sullivan & Worcester. He has practiced corporate and securities law for over thirty five years. He has extensive experience in both the public and private markets representing emerging and established technology companies in their financing, technology transfer and acquisition activities. He has been named one of The Best Lawyers in America and is the author of another book, Mergers and Acquisitions: A Step-by-Step Legal and Practical Guide also published by Wiley. He is a graduate of Harvard Law School and for a number of years taught seminars on technology companies and on mergers and acquisitions at Boston University School of Law. ### More information (PDF) Contact:
