Below is a list of my top ten posts in 2011 based solely on pageviews. Indeed, I was inspired by Chris Dixon and his post of last night (which you should definitely check-out). Moreover, I’m publishing an eBook with Hyperink entitled The Startup Law Playbook, which should be available shortly. If you ping me, I’ll send you a free copy (provided that you agree to give me feedback). Happy New Year!

Question
We launched a consumer internet site about a year ago, and we’re starting to get some really good traction. We’ve spoken to a bunch of angel investors and they all told us that we need to get an engineer on our team (my partner and I are both business guys and we outsourced the development). The problem is we’re in Silicon Valley, and we obviously don’t have the money to compete with the big tech companies for talent. Can you please give us some advice on hiring a superstar engineer and the key legal issues that we should be addressing. Thanks!
Happy Holidays and best wishes for the New Year. It’s been an amazing 2010 at Walker Corporate Law Group, and my colleagues and I want to thank all of our clients and friends for their support. Our offices will be closed until Monday, January 3rd. No blog posts or tweets until then. Cheers (and enjoy Louis Armstrong below), Scott
