Important new legislation intended to spur job creation and economic growth by improving access to the capital markets for startup and emerging growth companies has recently cleared Congress in the form of the JOBS Act (Jumpstart Our Business Startups).

WilmerHale Partner Jeff Stein will provide a brief overview of the most significant provisions of the act and how they can impact WeWork Labs companies.

WeWork Labs offers entrepreneurs a collaborative space in which they can build their ideas and products. WilmerHale is the official law firm sponsor of WeWork Labs and members of the New York Emerging Company practice have been working closely with the organization to provide its members and the larger start-up community with access to legal advice.
