ScaleUp Winter/Spring 2026 - Week 9: Selling Your Startup

You’re invited to Morrison Foerster’s ScaleUp Speaker Series —a complimentary series that will provide insights into the legal side of founding a startup. This weekly seminar will arm you with the knowledge needed to manage the legal aspects of launching, funding, and growing a startup, and ways to avoid common mistakes that can have serious consequences down the road.

We are hosting this cycle of the ScaleUp Speaker Series on Fridays as virtual-only events, including several bonus sessions on Thursdays.*

Topics covered in this one-hour session include:

• Typical target corporate structures
• Process considerations
• Acquisition structures (including asset purchases, stock purchases, and mergers)
• Key terms of acquisition agreements
