Startups & New Businesses

Legal and Strategic Advisory

We’ve been the trusted advisors for many startups and emerging companies. We see ourselves as not just you legal advisors but also your strategic advisors.

Startup Incorporation & Structure

The formational phase of a startup can greatly influence its growth trajectory. Startups come to us for precise guidance on incorporation and structuring. Our focus is not merely on current market dynamics but on positioning your startup for future scalability and adaptability. We dive deep into your vision, business model, and the competitive landscape to suggest the ideal structure, be it an LLC, a corporation, or another business entity.

Crafting Startup Governance

We emphasize the importance of establishing clear roles and responsibilities for founders from the beginning. This not only ensures smooth operations but also attracts potential investors who value organizational clarity. Furthermore, we assist clients with early founding documents such as founder’s agreements, bylaws, and partnership agreements.

Startup Transitions & Pivots

The startup journey isn’t always linear. Whether you’re considering a business model pivot, a strategic partnership, or even a potential acquisition offer, our team is here to assist.

Navigating Employment Matters

We assist startups in understanding and navigating the maze of California employment laws, ensuring that they can attract, retain, and manage their team effectively. From drafting the initial employment contracts, setting up benefits and stock option plans, to advising on labor laws and regulations, we’re here to help.
