Services

We start by understanding your business and where it's headed, then build a legal strategy around it: setting priorities, identifying the risks worth managing now, and sequencing everything else for later. As your needs grow, we help you bring legal in-house, hiring the right people and putting the processes and systems in place to run the function well.

Whether you're pre-revenue or preparing to scale, we help you spend your legal budget where it has the most impact and avoid the expensive surprises that come from putting structure off for too long. The goal is a plan that fits your business, not a generic checklist.

We form and maintain LLCs and corporations and keep their governance in good order, from organizational documents, operating agreements, and bylaws to board and member consents, minute books, and the routine filings that keep an entity in good standing. We also handle entity conversions and multi-entity structures as you scale.

Good governance is invisible until it isn't. We keep your corporate house in order so that when an investor, lender, or buyer asks for your records, everything is clean, current, and ready, with no last-minute scramble.

We handle the full equity lifecycle, from founder equity and vesting to option plans and grants and the convertible notes, SAFEs, and priced rounds companies use to raise capital, along with the approvals and documentation each step requires. We also support debt facilities and the diligence that comes with any financing.

Equity decisions are difficult to unwind, so we help you get them right the first time and understand their long-term effect on your cap table. When it is time to raise, we run the documentation and approvals so you can stay focused on selling the vision.

We draft, review, and negotiate the agreements your business runs on: customer and master services agreements, vendor and supplier contracts, NDAs, and the online terms and order forms that govern how you sell. We also build reusable templates and playbooks so your team can move faster on routine deals.

Your contracts are where revenue and risk meet. We make sure the agreements you sign protect the business and reflect what was actually negotiated, and we give your team the templates and guardrails to handle routine deals without waiting on a lawyer.

We support the employment relationship from first hire to departure: offer letters, employee and contractor agreements, handbooks and workplace policies, worker classification questions, and separations handled with care. We help you stay compliant as you hire across state lines and as headcount grows.

People issues carry outsized legal and cultural risk. We help you hire, manage, and part ways with employees and contractors in a way that is fair, compliant, and consistent as your team grows across roles and states.

We make sure the company actually owns what it builds by securing IP assignments from founders, employees, and contractors, and we protect your brand through trademark selection, filing, and maintenance. We also handle inbound and outbound licensing so your IP can be used, and monetized, on the right terms.

For most modern companies, the intellectual property is the company. We make sure ownership is locked down from day one and that your brand and inventions are protected and properly licensed, so your most valuable assets hold up under diligence.

We help you understand and meet the rules that apply to your business, including industry-specific regulations, privacy and data-handling requirements, business licensing and registrations, and marketing and advertising review. We translate dense requirements into practical steps your team can actually follow.

Regulatory missteps are costly and usually avoidable. We help you identify the rules that actually apply to your business and put practical, right-sized compliance in place before a regulator, customer, or partner comes asking.

When a matter calls for litigation or a specialized transaction, we identify the right specialist counsel, manage scope and budget, and keep everything coordinated through a single point of contact. You stay focused on the business while we make sure the work stays on strategy and on budget.

Not every matter should be handled in-house, and that is by design. When you need a litigator or a niche specialist, we find the right firm, negotiate the engagement, and manage the work so it stays aligned with your goals and your budget.
