Barry Vitou

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

Bootlaw is relevant to emerging technology, internet or digital businesses. For regular updates on forthcoming events and other legal news, follow our twitter feeds: @bootlaw, @bazv & @danversbaillieu.

We’re happy to say that we’ve already generated a buzz in the tech community- as you can see if you click on the press tab above.

Once a month at our offices in London we host an evening where we cover business questions and their legal ramifications from a pragmatic and practical standpoint. More importantly, we also have beer and pizza to keep us going. The evenings are informative and fun and are intended to put something useful back into the emerging technology and digital ecosystem by enabling emerging technology, internet and digital professionals to make informed decisions about legal issues which arise on a day to day basis – without unnecessarily racking up legal bills. Of course,

if a tough question ever does arise, and you do need some formal legal advice, Barry and Danvers are only a phone call or a twitter away.

If you would like to attend our meetings, you need to sign up to our meetup group (click here!).

You can browse through our past meetings, review the speaking notes from some of them, to get a flavour of the topics we cover.  The theme is any legal topic of interest to start ups and entrepreneurs.

Let us know if you think we’ve missed anything and let us know what you, the members, would like us to cover and we’ll add it to the list.
