Case:

Let's say you have a 32 year-old niece, Lisa, who has been very successful as an app developer in a Silicon Valley company. She has millions of dollars squirreled away in bonds, bank accounts and equity investments. Unfortunately, she is unhappy with her job. While it can be exciting to work on technical projects that can have big impacts and generate substantial revenue, she has decided that she is financially secure and would like to engage in creative work bringing her in close contact with people. Since she was in grade school, Lisa's great pleasure in life has been cooking. Everyone who has experienced the cuisine she has prepared has praised her for her culinary skills. So in looking for a new career, the obvious question she raises is: "How about setting up a high-end restaurant in northern California that specializes in preparing trendy, super-healthy food?"

Question:

Identify three potential legal liabilities she faces in launching and running the restaurant. How likely is each to arise? What steps can she take to handle each? No abstract, general comments on liability, please - make sure your answer pertains to her restaurant venture.
