Our Services
General Counsel Services
The core of our business is providing General Counsel services to our clients. In that capacity, we are the executive team’s first stop on legal matters and the trusted partner to provide business-oriented decision support and guidance.
In the role of General Counsel, we directly handle the most common types of legal work required by emerging growth companies, including those related to corporate, equity and financing matters, IP and technology transactions and other commercial agreements, and basic employment matters. We tap into our network of service providers to meet other related needs.
Corporate, Equity & Financing
We guide our clients to get the right legal structure in place from the beginning. Wherever possible, and consistent with our clients’ needs, we leverage industry norms to structure and document the formation of the company and its relationships with founders, employees, consultants, and early-stage investors to put the company in the best position for later-stage financing and sale.
For clients who are new to the world of corporations, cap tables, stock options and venture financing, we take it as our responsibility to ensure they understand the basic concepts required to make effective business decisions on these matters.
IP & Technology Transactions
It’s critical for startups to get appropriate agreements in place from the outset with employees, vendors, customers and other partners to secure the necessary IP rights in products they’re bringing to market. We help our clients with patent and software licenses, development agreements, manufacturing and supply agreements, service agreements, and other necessary commercial agreements.
For the last 15 years, our founder has been working with and across from major universities around the country in tech transfer licensing and other IP matters. Collaborating with universities is unlike working with companies. A patchwork of laws and university policies, practices and procedures play into these agreements. We work closely with our clients to structure and negotiate university licenses and research agreements to meet their business needs.
