Most of our corporate clients are companies whose value sits in intellectual property: software, data, brands, inventions, and the contracts that move them. That shapes how we practice corporate law. We form and structure the company, paper the financings, run and close acquisitions, and advise boards, with the IP and technology issues handled in the same room rather than farmed out to a separate team.
Formation, Governance, And Founders
We set up corporations and LLCs, draft operating and shareholder agreements, and build the founder documents that prevent later disputes: IP assignments, vesting, confidentiality, and the terms that govern what happens when a founder leaves. For operating companies we advise boards and officers on fiduciary duties, equity plans, and the governance questions that come with investors and growth.
Financings And Investment
From friends-and-family rounds through venture financings, we prepare and negotiate term sheets, stock purchase and investor rights agreements, convertible notes, and SAFEs. We clean up the cap table and the IP chain of title before investors look, because that is where diligence stalls and valuations get cut.
Mergers And Acquisitions
We represent buyers and sellers in technology acquisitions, asset sales, and strategic investments. We run diligence on the assets that actually drive the price, including patents, trademarks, software and open-source compliance, data and privacy practices, and key customer and licensing agreements, then draft and negotiate the purchase agreement, disclosure schedules, and transition arrangements.
Shareholder And Governance Disputes
When a deal or a boardroom relationship breaks down, our litigation practice handles it: shareholder and partnership disputes, fiduciary-duty claims, books-and-records demands, securities and shareholder litigation, and shareholder activism. Because the same attorneys handle the corporate work, we understand the documents in dispute and can advise early on whether to fight, settle, or restructure.
Fixed Prices Where The Work Is Predictable
Standard corporate documents and transactions are priced as flat fees in our catalog: formation packages, operating agreements, board consents, stock purchase agreements, and more, each with its scope, turnaround, and price stated up front. Open-ended work such as a contested acquisition or a governance dispute is scoped and estimated in writing before we begin.
