Some Frequently Asked Questions
How do we get started working with your firm?
Every relationship begins with an initial consultation. During this meeting, we will discuss your current business landscape, immediate legal pressures, and long-term goals. From there, we provide a clear proposal outlining our recommended legal strategy, scope of work, and fee structure.
Can a smaller firm handle complex transactions like private equity deals or corporate mergers?
Absolutely. Our size is our strength, not a limitation. Our attorneys have extensive backgrounds in high-stakes corporate law and private equity. Because we are selective about our caseload, we can dedicate intense, focused bandwidth to your transaction, managing due diligence and structuring deals with meticulous attention to detail that often gets lost in larger firms.
We are a fast-growing startup. At what point should we formally retain a lawyer?
The best time is before you take external money or formalize partnerships. We highly recommend establishing a legal foundation during entity formation to properly structure founder equity splits, intellectual property (IP) assignments, and initial seed rounds. Addressing these early prevents incredibly costly and disruptive "clean-up" work down the road when investors begin looking at your books.
What is the difference between Corporate Formation and Corporate Governance?
Formation is the act of birthing the business, choosing whether to be an LLC, C-Corp, or S-Corp and filing with the state. Governance is the ongoing framework that dictates how that business is run. Governance involves drafting operating agreements, establishing board responsibilities, maintaining fiduciary duties, and ensuring compliance so that the corporate entity remains valid and legally protected from personal liability.
