We started the firm in 2021 to fix a common problem: startups and entrepreneurs were being forced into a bad tradeoff.
Either you paid big law prices and felt like a small account, or you worked with a solo lawyer who could not scale with you.
We built a third option, a boutique firm with the speed and quality people associate with big law, designed to grow alongside the companies and funds we support.
Our core focus is tech startups, from formation to financings to exit.
We also work with venture-backed and bootstrapped companies, investment funds under $100M, and closely held businesses, including family-owned businesses, real estate companies, solopreneurs, and content creators.
Why we exist
Startups need counsel that matches the moment they are in. Not every stage calls for the same level of legal complexity, and paying for prestige does not help an early-stage company build. We exist to deliver serious legal work with proportionality, speed, and discipline, so the support fits the business, not the other way around.
What we do
We focus on the work that shows up again and again as companies grow:
- Incorporation
- Fundraising
- Commercial agreements
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Intellectual property
For many clients, we operate as outside general counsel. The goal is simple, it should feel like we are part of the team, while remaining an independent legal partner.
How we work
- Proportionality first. The level of lawyering matches the stage and needs of the client.
- Speed and quality together. Fast turnaround should not mean sloppy work.
- Built to scale with you. Support that makes sense at formation should still make sense at later stages.
- Embedded collaboration. Outside general counsel that feels inside the business.
What we believe
- Legal complexity should be earned, not assumed.
- Early-stage companies do not benefit from paying for prestige.
- Quality work and responsiveness are not tradeoffs.
- Counsel should scale with a company, not constrain it.
Who we work with
We work with tech startups at all stages, including venture-backed and bootstrapped companies. We also work with investment funds under $100M, and SMBs and closely held businesses, including family-owned businesses, real estate companies, solopreneurs, and content creators.
We are not a fit for clients seeking litigation counsel, patent counsel, or immigration counsel.
