The Alumni Office is proud to offer free online workshops with Faculty member Joel Delman. Please join us.

Prior to faculty Joel Delman’s 27 years as a design consultant, he was a corporate lawyer. He has drafted and negotiated hundreds of NDAs, Service Agreements and Licensing/Royalty deals with clients ranging from Fortune 100s to tech startups. He knows the pitfalls and gotchas to watch out for, and the best practices to push for.

Joel will share his expertise on contract issues and how to avoid making potentially costly—mistakes that our alumni may make in their legal relationships with clients daily. This workshop will help to ensure that participants understand what's at stake, and learn how to negotiate smart agreements going forward.

Joel’s knowledge is focused on industrial design protection; however, all alums would find the workshop helpful.

RSVP by Sept. 6
