Don't Panic :): A Legal Guide (in Plain English) for Small Businesses and Creative Professionals

Newly updated, Don’t Panic :) will prepare you to handle legal issues you’ll encounter in your business and creative work. This book is used in college and graduate classes nationwide to teach non-lawyers the key legal concepts they need to know.
Whether you are a business, filmmaker, musician, author, or other creator, this book will help you understand what you need to know about the law, and how to avoid getting sued.
Don't Panic covers a range of legal situations that may arise, from the inception of your business, or the creation of your work, to that dreaded moment (that hopefully doesn’t happen) you get a nasty lawyer letter for the first time. While this book is not a substitute for legal advice, it can serve as a valuable guide to preventing and resolving legal issues.
The book is organized to help you quickly jump to specific information that will help you through that stage of your work. There are short, straight to the point summaries throughout called “The Bottom Line” providing the essentials you need to know.
You’ll learn how to form your business, protect your intellectual property, understand E&O insurance, and avoid problems when launching an App or internet-based service. Often, you can take a few simple steps upfront that will protect your business or creative works, and ultimately save time and money down the road.
