TOP-10 myths about corporate law that businesses still believe: a new podcast from GOLAW

Does a company really lose its liability after liquidation? Or does the new owner of the business automatically inherit all the debts of the previous one? What about payment in cryptocurrency — is it legal?

In a new video, Partner at GOLAW and Head of Corporate Law and M&A Practice Oleksandr Melnyk debunks the most common myths about corporate law that are still widespread even among experienced managers and investors.

Based on real cases and the practice of GOLAW lawyers, you will learn:

  • why intellectual property created by an employee does not always belong to the company;
  • what risks are hidden in “trade secret” clauses in contracts;
  • how director liability actually works and why it is not limited to the term of office;
  • why antitrust legislation applies not only to large businesses;
  • and many other non-obvious but critically important points for corporate governance.

This video will be useful for company owners and directors, investors, lawyers, and anyone who makes management decisions and works with agreements.
