Our guest today is Dr. Jacqueline Walsh, a lawyer, professor, and the Director of the initio Technology and Innovation Law Clinic at the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University.
Dr. Walsh has practiced corporate and intellectual property law for over 20 years, spending time both in Big Law, and working directly with small technology startups.
Our conversation centers around Dr. Walsh’s journey from Big Law to running the initio law clinic, which helps Nova Scotia based technology startups get the early stage legal information they need to properly set up their venture, all while giving law students an opportunity to gain practical experience by acting and advising on innovation and startup matters.
We also delve into her experiences during her time as a startup lawyer, and Dr. Walsh gives a great road map for any lawyers looking to jump into the entrepreneurial space.
