Start-up
Enterprises
Unlike most other law
firms, virtually all
of our attorneys actually have been involved as a principal in one or
more start-up business ventures. We know what it takes to get a
business off the ground. We also know what it takes to make it soar.
Here are a few of the most
important products and services we can offer you, starting on day one
of your business:
- Flexible
Representation Agreement.
We will reach a written engagement agreement at the outset, so you will
know where you stand from the beginning. We offer many flexible fee
arrangements.
- Business Development.
We can work with you to refine your thinking about your new business
idea in order to help you maximize your potential for finding your
niche in the marketplace.
- Business Plan Advice. Once your idea is
refined, we can help you put it down on paper so that investors will
take notice.
- Business Formation Advice.
We can advise you on the best business entity for your business, and
prepare and file the necessary documents with the appropriate federal
and state agencies. We can counsel you on and draft your governing
documents such as shareholder or operating agreements.
- Name, Logo and Product Protection.
Before you invest valuable resources in a business name, logo, brand or
product name, we can conduct a trademark clearance of these assets and
suggest ways of protecting them for your company.
- Internet Advice. We can help you avoid
potential pitfalls in your use of the Internet by performing an Internet Legal
Audit tailored to your needs.
Additionally, you may need
our advice on one or more of the following issues:
- Availability of Funds
including Venture Capital
- Office space leases or subleases
- Stock Options
- Executive Compensation Plans
- Employment Agreements
- Other Services Contracts
(Web site contracts, work-for-hire agreements,
vendor contracts)
- Noncompete/Nondisclosure Agreements
