Getting the legal stuff right is important when starting your own studio, so this talk will outline the key steps to take along the way. Wade will explain the common triggers for when you should see a lawyer and when you can handle some legal things by yourself. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of the vital legal touchpoints and be armed with the knowledge of how and when to effectively engage with a lawyer along your gamedev journey (so that you can focus on the “fun stuff”).
