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.
