John Schnackel will be August's guest speaker at USF St. Petersburg's monthly free business breakfast.
ST PETERSBURG, Florida – The University of South Florida (USF) St. Petersburg will host their free entrepreneurial networking breakfast on Wednesday, August 18. Speaker, and noted local attorney, John Schnackel will discuss why entrepreneurs should consider calling a lawyer – before they need to call a lawyer.
For three years running, USF St. Petersburg has hosted a monthly networking and educational breakfast for entrepreneurs on their campus. USF St. Petersburg provides free breakfast, expert speaker, networking and parking. The event is open to the public, starts at 8am, and ends promptly at 9:15am.
John Schnackel is an experienced former in-house General Counsel to some of Tampa Bay’s “Fast-50” high-tech growth companies. By choice and good fortune, he now provides legal advice and counsel to the owners and executives of small and emerging businesses – primarily in the areas of commercial transactions, intellectual property protection, and corporate law. With a relatively unique practice as an “outsourced” General Counsel, John serves many business clients as an extension of their management team – helping them to avoid legal problems before it can impact their bottom line. “As everyone knows,” explains John Schnackel, “it’s much easier and less expensive to avoid problems earlier, than to fix them later!”
“We couldn’t be happier having John speaking to our community’s entrepreneurs this month,” notes Wayne Brass, Pinellas County Manager for the Florida Small Business Development Center at USF St. Petersburg, and event coordinator. “John is a valuable community asset, and knowledgeable legal expert.”
Associate Dean of USF St. Petersburg’s College of Business, and Director of the Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Innovation Alliance at USF St. Petersburg, Bill Jackson adds, “the continuation of our breakfast series demonstrates USF St. Petersburg’s commitment to the local economic development, and allows us to reach out to our non-academic community to provide real value.”
