We are start-up business lawyers who lave long served the corporate, business, and intellectual property needs of numerous start-up companies and traditional small to medium sized businesses.  We handle the gamut of corporate and commercial deals and disputes.  We serve entrepreneurs, founders, executives, and owners - and their companies.

We offer specialized expertise for high tech start-up companies, including: company formation, founder arrangements, employee incentives, funding, intellectual property protection and licensing, trademarks, distribution arrangements, strategic alliances, acquisitions, and the strategic and tax guidance integral to start-up issues.

For traditional businesses, we serve as well-rounded business lawyers who are skilled, experienced, cost-efficient, and versatile.

We differ from large Silicon Valley law firms in that such firms see it as a plus to represent venture-capital firms while we do not. Founders who seek a slot in a venture-formula company, a fee deferral, and an early exit on IPO can find excellent lawyers at large firms who will ably assist them. Founders who disdain an early VC lock, who are wary of possible conflicts, or who aim to build long-term value and profitability with or without an IPO will find us to be an excellent alternative. Both we and the large firms represent client companies, but we work exclusively with those who come in from the founder side; the large firms do not.

We value long-term relationships with entrepreneurs, founders, and business owners. We believe that integrity, loyalty, and excellence sustain such relationships. We do our best to uphold these standards for our clients, and we seek clients who value and seek to do the same.
