Startups & Technology
Technology companies generate legal surface faster than any other client type: every customer is a contract, every contributor is an IP question, every growth stage rewrites the entity. The firm represents SaaS, AI, and digital platform companies across that entire lifecycle — and has built complete legal infrastructures for them as outside general counsel, from founder documentation through enterprise customer negotiations.

We’re pre-revenue. What’s the minimum viable legal setup?
IP assignment and founder terms first; everything else phases in. The foundation review tells you the order.
