Defense tech companies are vital to the national security of the United States and its allies. However, to scale and become market leaders, these companies must navigate a legal minefield unlike those found in less regulated business sectors.
Our popular webinar series on the legal challenges faced by emerging defense tech companies returns with a webinar on The Defense Tech Pivot: Financing Opportunities and Risks.
Partners Daniel Zimmermann, Jason Chipman and Stephanie Evans, moderated by Partner Erik Swabb, will discuss opportunities and risks for emerging defense tech companies seeking to fund their growth, including:
- potential changes to Department of Defense programs and funding;
- recent developments in financing and successful exits;
- best practices for funding and scalability;
- new regulatory challenges impacting fundraising, M&A, data security and cross-border transactions; and
- managing geopolitical risk and policy shifts, talent competition, and ethical and public perception issues.
During the webinar, participants will have the opportunity to contribute questions online. This program is being planned with the intention to offer CLE credit for attendees who join the live presentation.
*CLE credit is not available for those who watch a recording of the webinar.
WilmerHale has been accredited by the New York State and California State Continuing Legal Education Boards as a provider of continuing legal education. This program is being planned with the intention to offer CLE credit in California and non-transitional credit in New York. This program, therefore, is being planned with the intention to offer CLE credit for experienced New York attorneys only. Attendees of this program may be able to claim England & Wales CPD. WilmerHale has been approved as a Colorado Certified Provider, as recognized by the Colorado Supreme Court Continuing Legal and Judicial Education Committee. We will apply for Colorado CLE (after the program) if requested. The type and amount of credit awarded will be determined solely by the Colorado Supreme Court. New Jersey grants reciprocal credit for programs that are approved in New York. We can also issue Connecticut credit. All attendees, regardless of jurisdiction, will receive a uniform certificate of attendance that shows the states in which the program was approved. Attendees who need credit in another jurisdiction can use the uniform certificate of attendance to self-apply. CLE credit is not available for on-demand webinar recordings.
