Neglection

idea posted by Dayanand Deshpande Senior Consultant, Ernst & Young

According to me this is the biggest problem, neglecting the legal issues like thinking any legal issues can be solved later,one thinks that ok the business is up and running whatever issues are there they can be tackled later, which is not so good for the future. So it is good to hire a competent lawyer. Excellent legal talent can be retained for relatively little money in the early stages. It will cost less to get it right at the beginning itself rather than to try to sort it all out later, which is very important..

So what are the other mistakes? give in your views here..

No mistakes

idea posted by Ahmed Sultan, ITC Airline Consultant

Entrepreneurs are not qualified to make legal mistakes.
Please do not jump into inaccurate conclusions.
The idea is simple. The entrepreneur is a person who has just an idea. That simple definition implies that entrepreneurs are supposed to seek professional advice from lawyers, economists, marketers, and management consultants for the purpose of adjusting their ideas into realistic viable projects.
If there will be a legal mistake, it would be the mistake of the legal advisor.

I agree with Mr. Sultan, Entrepreneurs are not Corporate lawyers or C.S.

They are the one who take care of business development, Production, Major Financial decisions basically they take care of Planning work.

Yes ofcourse with time they should gain some knowledge of Legal Arena but it doesnt mean that they should become Corporate Lawyer.

Its about getting the right service from the corproate consultants and company secretaries

Yes, its about getting the right legal advice and counsel. An entrepreneur should first now that for the successful a being a successful entrepreneur, due regard to be shown to the law. Its especially so when a company is to be formed and formalities are more when the company is public limited company.  Again the company secretaries not only advice the company in formation, conduct of meetings, giving notice etc., but then would render legal counsel  as when required by the management.  Many companies are not able to overcome this issue and they will finally complicate. An unintended mistake too, may have disastrous consequences if not addressed property and its with implications. As such, though the issue can be detailed more, the entrepreneur must focus on getting the right counsel, attorney or the company secretary.

Hiring employees

idea posted by Anil Kumar Singh Senior Consultant, GKC
Another mistake to add to the neglection part is while hiring employees without  checking their agreements with the current organization where they are working and their knowledge of trade secrets of the company.  The law is clear that if someone is currently working for a company, particularly and if they are key employee, they cannot operate a competing business. Even just incorporating them may spark a legal issue towards you from the current employer. So one should be careful while Hiring employees.

If any employer want to employ any person he must put work agreement specifing the period of the employment and code of conduct for terminating the employess. If the enterpreneurs follows the above thing there is no problem
