Stewart McKelvey Speaker Series

January 13, 2026 8:00 AM - 10:30 AM (NST)

Description

Join techNL Mission Partner Stewart McKelvey for a complimentary morning speaker session featuring engaging panel discussions on some of the most
pressing legal issues in today's tech sector.

Our panel of lawyers will explore two fictionalized, but highly realistic scenarios that weave together the legal challenges faced by innovative companies. Through these case studies, our speakers will share practical insights and lessons learned from their experience advising tech clients.

Featured scenarios:

From Seed to Snag: A Start-Up's Wake-Up Call

A promising MedTech start-up is on the brink of a major VC round, but a shaky legal foundation threatens to derail everything. With contracts drafted by AI, sensitive medical data in play, and questions around shareholder approvals and IP ownership, this session unpacks how cutting legal corners early on can come back to haunt even the most innovative companies. Our panel will unpack VC deal terms, privacy pitfalls, AI-generated content, and what not to do when preparing for investment.


Breaking Point: When Founders Collide

An established tech Firm is thriving on the outside - but imploding on the inside. With founders at war, harassment allegations, and a looming bank financing process, how do you keep the company (and the deal) from falling apart? Add a cyberattack into the mix, and the stakes couldn't be higher. This scenario examines harassment, corporate governance, shareholder exits, and cybersecurity obligations - offering practical legal insights into managing internal conflict during a moment of external growth.

Emera Innovation Exchange,
100 Signal Hill Rd.
