Our startup, emerging company, and venture capital clients rely on our guidance through every stage of their life cycle. We offer practical, cost-effective, and full-service solutions to our clients, including the portfolio companies of our venture capital clients. Our clients turn to us for holistic counsel — the ability to see the big picture and tailor our guidance to their specific needs.
From formation through seed, Series A, and their eventual merger, acquisition, or IPO exit, our startup and emerging company clients look to us not only as their outside general counsel, but also as their trusted business advisors. We provide pragmatic guidance on corporate, intellectual property, fundraising, and other matters.
We help emerging businesses navigate issues that arise throughout all stages of their life cycle. Our unique SEED™ program provides innovative and affordable opportunities to startups and early-stage emerging companies with a solid technology or scientific foundation. We help companies that have a quality management team in place and do not have other significant legal representation.
We represent venture capital firms and other investors in the full life cycle of growth capital investments, including friends and family; angel- and seed-stage rounds; Series A, B, and C institutional venture capital financings; later-stage growth capital investments; and public offerings. Our experience and relationships span industries, such as software, hardware, and other high-technology, life sciences, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, financial technology, health care, consumer products, food and beverage, media and telecommunications products and services, and many others.
