    Great introduction to the legal aspects of entrepreneurship! Interesting content, broadly covers legal issues when initializing the startup. Well explained by Prof. White. The most difficult part to grasp is that of equity and mergers, but for a non-English speaker the explanations are quite manegable. Highly recommended for learners and professionals starting their bussineses. Thank you Prof. White, U Maryland, and Coursera for this wonderful specialization!

    💡 Mon avis personnel : C’est un savoir stratégique, souvent négligé au profit du marketing ou de la comptabilité, mais qui fait la différence entre un business stable et un business fragile. Tout entrepreneur devrait avoir un socle juridique clair, ou s’entourer de quelqu’un qui l’a.
