If you have a product brand, just finding investors and lenders willing to financially support your vision for success is hard enough. Making certain that whatever deals you make are in full compliance with the law adds another big (and crucial) level of complexity.

In order to raise your consciousness of these legal issues, Naturally Chicago on September 15 is presenting a webinar master class by Leslee Cohen, founder and managing partner of AllRise Legal Counsel — a firm that provides expert and affordable guidance to early-stage brands.
