Areas of Practice

Technology

 

We advise and represent technology companies on every aspect of the product and sales cycle, from making sure that you own the IP your staff creates, to your contracts with your clients, vendors, and partners. We frequently act for small vendors and service providers selling to Fortune 500 companies and governments. Whether it is an NDA or a SaaS agreement, our focus is always on efficiently drafting and negotiating agreements that protect your company and minimize deal friction.  

Financings

 

We advise entrepreneurs and investors (including several family offices) on various financings, for early, mid and later stage companies, and funds of all sizes. With personal and professional experience in venture capital, private equity, and numerous start ups, we are well positioned to help entrepreneurs and investors avoid pitfalls, and structure transactions to improve the governance and economics of investments into start-ups and small to midsized funds. We also have extensive experience with cross-border investments.

Advocacy

 

Our advocacy work focuses on commercial and intellectual property litigation. While we like to avoid lawsuits, once they’re necessary we work to resolve them efficiently and advantageously.

Legal Strategy

 

A solid legal strategy is key to a business’s success. Knowing what kinds of contracts you need, which terms are important, and how to mitigate your exposure will give you a competitive advantage with your customers and investors.

Consulting

 

As consultants, we function like your GP: your first port of call, but for legal maladies. Maybe you need help finding the right legal specialist for your problem. Maybe you have a lawyer, but you’re not sure how to efficiently instruct them, or act on their advice. Often our clients are facing complex, high-stakes litigation for the first time, and bring us on to supplement the trial team. We also have particular expertise helping founders navigate exits and life-changing liquidity events.
