Startups & Emerging Companies

We work with founders and emerging companies from formation through growth, helping you build a legal foundation that scales with your business rather than collapsing under its own complexity when you hit your first major milestone. From incorporating and splitting equity among co-founders (yes, you need vesting schedules) to hiring your first employees, entering your first commercial contracts, and raising your first institutional capital, we've been there for the late-night calls when everything feels like it's on fire. What makes us different is that we actually like working with startups.

We understand that your budget isn't infinite, that you're trying to move fast without breaking things (or at least not breaking important things), and that you need practical advice, not academic lectures on every possible edge case. Several of our attorneys have founded companies themselves, so we get the emotional rollercoaster and the pressure you're under. We're here to help you make smart decisions about when to be aggressive and when to be careful, and we promise not to use unnecessary legal jargon when plain English will do.
