Support for all stages of the business lifecycle
We’re passionate about helping bold entrepreneurs, innovative founders, investors and advisors launch new ventures and grow them into successful enterprises.
Our attorneys frequently act as outside general counsel to growth businesses, serving as strategic partners. With this insight into our clients’ industries, operations and goals, we offer a tailored, team-oriented and practical approach.
We also work with angel investors, family offices and venture capital and private equity firms to assist with due diligence and with negotiating and documenting investments in startups and emerging companies, which gives us a well-rounded perspective of both the company and investor perspective.
We represent clients across a wide range of industries and sectors, including consumer brands, healthcare, aerospace, defense, ecommerce, fintech and ag tech. Our work also extends to food and beverage, vitamins, minerals and supplements, health, beauty and wellness (including cosmetics and skin care), fashion and apparel, consumer electronics, housewares and home goods, toys and games, software and technology (including SaaS and AI), as well as sports and entertainment.
