An event series presented by Georgia Cleantech Innovation Hub and Thompson Hine LLP


Join Thompson Hine partner Lindsay Karas Stencel and other Thompson Hine attorneys for a focused conversation on two of the most important challenges every startup faces: protecting its innovations and building a team for long-term success.

Our speakers will discuss strategies for protecting your intellectual property, including patent and trademark fundamentals and the regulatory considerations that affect early-stage and growth companies. They will also explore best practices for attracting and retaining top talent, designing competitive compensation and equity programs, and fostering long-term employee engagement to support your company's continued growth.

Whether you’re launching a new venture or preparing for your next stage of growth, this session will offer practical guidance to help strengthen your business and position it for long-term success.

This program is part of our ongoing startup series, designed to help founders navigate the legal and business issues that arise throughout the startup lifecycle. We look forward to continuing the conversation.
