How are we different?
The legal
paradigm needs to change. Companies too small to have in house legal
professionals also likely can't afford law firm billing rates. But that
doesn’t mean they don’t need advice and counsel. Innovative legal
services for entrepreneurial businesses isn't just a title. Extensive
experience as a senior executive and a law firm partner focused primarily on
technology based businesses involved in the development and international
commercialization of protectable intellectual property, including a stint as a
law firm managing partner, has enabled re-thinking the provision of legal
services. An efficient, low overhead practice can offer senior partner
level legal, tax and executive services at significantly lower cost. An
understanding of technologies and their product potential sources enable
consultative services which go well beyond legal technicalities. As
needed, I can involve and manage lawyers with other expertise, not limited to
those in any specific firm, from the international network of people with whom
I have worked in the past. They aren't on staff, they aren't overhead, they are brought in only as needed. It is transparent to the client. The lawyers on the project are managed just as a partner manages lawyers in a firm on a project.
This practice brings to companies without extensive in-house legal staff the benefit of partner level international legal, tax and business advice at lower cost and without the financial commitment and risk associated with senior level hiring.
