Q&A for Entrepreneurs with Gabriel
25th February, 6:30-7:30 pm GMT
Join us for a monthly interactive Q&A session with Gabriel Mbanefo, Founder and Director of Entrepreneur Legal, designed specifically for founders and service-based entrepreneurs who want to better understand the legal landscape around their business.
This session is educational and informational in nature. The goal is to help you feel clearer, more confident, and better equipped to identify legal risks and decide on your next steps.
Gabriel will address a wide range of topics, including:
- Protecting your ideas and work – understanding NDAs, non-competes, and copyright, and how entrepreneurs commonly safeguard their intellectual assets.
- Trademarks – when you might need one, key considerations before filing, and common misconceptions
- Essential legal clauses – practical insights into must-have provisions in service and commercial agreements.
- Common legal mistakes – frequent issues founders face and how to avoid them early.
- Funding and investor agreements – high-level legal considerations when raising capital.
- The live session will be participants-led, so come prepared with your questions. Gabriel will respond with general guidance, explanations, and real-world context drawn from his experience working with entrepreneurs across different stages of growth.
However, while Gabriel will share practical insights, common pitfalls, and general legal principles relevant to entrepreneurs, no formal legal advice will be given, and nothing discussed should be relied upon as a substitute for tailored legal advice.
 This Q&A is ideal for founders who want to feel more confident navigating legal issues, reduce risk, and make more informed decisions as they build and scale their businesses.
