Following on from the successful session in June, which was so successful we didn't get past copyright issues, we have persuaded Ian Silcock and Louise O'Callaghan from Hardwicke Buildings to return to speak about trademarks and software patents.

We are delighted to announce that for the June edition of Bootlaw, we have guest speakers, Ian Silcock and Louise O'Callaghan, who are barristers from Hardwicke Buildings chambers specialising in intellectual property issues.

Winston & Strawn, in collaboration with UK Trade & Investment, invites you to join us for a practical, interactive seminar designed to equip you with the information you'll need to expand your business to the United States. Far from an ordinary lecture on the U.S. legal system, you'll hear from experienced U.S. lawyers – live in London and in the U.S.– who will provide real world advice to help you successfully navigate the complexities and avoid the pitfalls as you plan to enter the U.S. market.

For our fifth Bootlaw meet up we are pleased to welcome Trevor Callaghan, senior product counsel for Google EMEA who will discuss Google's approach to legal issues within its business.

For the fourth Bootlaw session and the first of 2009, we have opened up the choice of topic to the democratic process.

Bootlaw is a free boot camp for emerging technology, internet and digital businesses and the professionals working in them who want to learn more about the legal issues they face. Its brought to you by Barry Vitou and Danvers Baillieu the friendly lawyers at Winston & Strawn in London.
