GENERAL CORPORATE LAW MATTERS

Many startups and other clients retain us to act as their “outsourced in-house counsel.”  This arrangement has three principal benefits: (i) we develop an in-depth familiarity with our client’s business, culture and legal needs; (ii) we maintain a long-term relationship, which facilitates efficiency of service; and (iii) we become an integral part of our client’s management team.  The specific general corporate services we provide include:
