I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be giving a talk, at the Galway Chamber of Commerce, on September 12 on doing business in the US. I’ll be presenting with Mary Rogers, Innovation Community Manager, PorterShed (@portershed) & Founder & CEO, Stateside Solutions (@StatesidePortal). The program will discuss the following topics: (i) Starting at the start: why expand to the U.S?; (ii) Can your product be sold in the US and/or are there any pre-sale registration or approval requirements?; (iii) Do you need a U.S. affiliate entity? Considerations on form, jurisdiction and tax impact of U.S. affiliate entity; (iv) IP protections; (v) Controlling the contract(s); (vi) Product liability concerns; (vii) Insulating the Irish parent; (viii) Labour/employment/immigration; and (ix) Conclusion: Moving forward.
