GENERAL CORPORATE MATTERS
Many startups and other clients retain us to act as their “outsourced in-house counsel.” This arrangement has three principal benefits: (i) we develop an in-depth familiarity with our client’s business, culture and legal needs; (ii) we maintain a long-term relationship, which facilitates efficiency of service; and (iii) we become an integral part of our client’s management team. The specific general corporate services we provide include but are not limited to:
Startup counseling
Formation of corporations, LLC’s and other entities, and preparation of related documentation
Founder agreements
loan agreements, factoring agreements
IP agreements, including IP assignment agreements, licensing agreements, confidential information and inventions assignment agreements, and terms of service/use and privacy policy
Employment and consulting agreements
Commercial contracts, including services agreements, partnering agreements, vendor/supplier agreements and reseller agreements
Corporate governance, including board of director matters and private stockholders’/voting agreements
Better business
We have created a new business model designed for entrepreneurs and startups looking for an alternative to the big law firms. Here’s how we are different:
We only have senior attorneys. Each member of our team has 20 to 40 years of legal experience. Your project is thus never pushed-down to young, inexperienced lawyers getting on-the-job training because we don’t have any young, inexperienced lawyers. Instead, your project will be assigned to one partner-level attorney who will give you the hands-on, personal attention that you’re looking for. We only do one thing. Unlike the big law firms (which have many different departments and practice groups), we are laser-focused on one thing: providing corporate legal services to entrepreneurs and their companies. Accordingly, we know how to get corporate projects done quickly and efficiently because that’s all we do.
We are lean by design. We understand that entrepreneurs and startups are tired of paying their lawyers for needless overhead and overstaffed projects. We recognize that entrepreneurs are a special breed with special needs. That’s why our entire practice is built around helping entrepreneurs and their companies — and that’s why we’re always available (via email or cell) and pride ourselves on our responsiveness. Indeed, we’ll make introductions; we’ll do fixed fees; we’ll do anything to help entrepreneurs succeed.
