Entity Formation & Structure
We counsel startups at formation to ensure they structure an entity tailored to their needs. From simple LLCs to complex Delaware C-corps, non-profits, and public benefit companies, we draft governance that uniformly aligns with founder interests, investor readiness and growth objectives.
Founder & Investor Relations
Our team authors frameworks for founder and investor relationships, addressing equity, vesting, IP, and exits. We draft agreements for founders, advisors, and investors, prepare convertible and SAFE notes, negotiate term sheets, prepare disclosures, and manage closings while protecting founder interests.
Commercial Contracts
Our team crafts scalable agreements from basic NDAs to complex MSAs and licensing agreements. We develop website terms, privacy policies, and disclaimers to help you create strategic partnerships that protect IP, limit liability, pass on risk, and establish clear expectations as your business grows.
Intellectual Property
In collaboration with our strategic partner, Calyx Law, we develop strategies to secure and leverage your IP assets. Our team guides trademark registration, copyright protection, trade secret protocols, and patent strategy while establishing licensing models that protect your competitive advantage.
Our practice is built on providing accessible, practical legal advice that empowers clients to build sustainable businesses while navigating the complex challenges of rapid growth.
