Services

The lawyers in our Early Stage & Emerging Company practice have particular experience representing technology-based and high-growth businesses in fields such as:

• Clean technology
• Health care
• Information technology
• Life sciences
• Media
• Medical devices

Early stage and emerging companies have the same needs as every business. They must:

• Organize
• Capitalize
• Protect their intellectual property
• Manage and motivate their employees
• Partner with suppliers and customers
• Handle third-party disputes
• Consider exit and liquidity opportunities

But as every entrepreneur and investor knows, the world of the early stage and emerging company is especially dynamic. They confront the issues every business faces, but they do so in complex and unique environments that demand legal solutions that are particularly:

• Cost-sensitive
• Efficient
• Proportional
• Quick
• Value-creating

We understand this – and create those solutions every day. Well-versed in all of these legal issues, we are well-suited to provide counsel and know-how in a fully integrated cross-functional approach. Our QuickLaunch™ team helps new businesses get the traction they need to succeed.

We collaborate closely with our clients, in many cases as virtual general counsel. Relationships are important, and we make that investment through regular and meaningful interaction with our clients – we’re not just legal advisers, we partner with our clients to reach their objectives.
