Domestic Practice
Our domestic practice is focused on helping and protecting dynamic young companies. We understand technology and the business issues involving software, hardware, internet, and media.
With an entrepreneurial mindset, we partner with our clients throughout the growth cycle, from the startup phase to exit strategy. We provide strategic advice on business structure and business plans, facilitate and document financing transactions, and attend to the myriad of details in commercial negotiations and documentation so our clients can sleep better at night.
As a legal team with a business focus, we respect the need to act with agility, efficiency and creativity. Our service is rapid, proactive and oriented to meet our clients' needs.
Fundamentally, we are entrepreneurs ourselves. Because we think like entrepreneurs, we understand the challenges faced by emerging companies, and we share their excitement. We aim to provide value to our clients that goes beyond excellent legal service, we strive to make our clients' business objectives our own.
We help companies grow.
