Law and Entrepreneurship

Edited by Robert E. Litan, Korein Tillery LLC, US and Anthony J. Luppino, Rubey M. Hulen Professor of Urban Affairs, University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law, US

The symbiosis that exists between entrepreneurship and law is of paramount importance in accommodating and advancing the freedom to innovate, as well as 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. It also explores the roles of lawyers and trends in the education of law students to become professionals in fields ranging from valuable counselors to entrepreneurs.

‘Litan and Luppino perform a great service in creating a single volume that offers both the depth and breadth of “law and entrepreneurship” scholarship. Like other great anthologies, their book provides not
only a ready reference but serves to define this burgeoning field.’
