The symbiosis that exists between entrepreneurship and law is of paramount importance in accommodating and advancing the freedom to innovate and the need to prevent unfair and abusive activities. Seminal articles and essays reprinted in this collection examine several major subject areas of law associated with entrepreneurship, including intellectual property, restrictive covenants designed to protect proprietary information, business organizations, taxation, securities regulation and tort law. This collection presents issues implicated in both for-profit growth ventures and creative social enterprises and also explores the roles of lawyers and trends in the education of law students to become valuable counselors to entrepreneurs. Along with a new and original introduction by leading authorities in the field, this essential single volume is an invaluable tool to researchers, academics and entrepreneurs
