Why We're Different

Practical Solutions.  We analyze the law with an eye toward providing practical, efficient, business-oriented solutions and clearly defined work plans.   We understand that two key roles that we play in our clients’ work are those of problem solvers and facilitators who help our clients accomplish their goals.

Personal Attention.   Clients share their ambitions and we listen.  We have a strong understanding that we cannot be effective in our role without fully comprehending your objectives and perspectives.  Accordingly, we make concerted efforts to engage in thoughtful discussions with our clients in order to understand their unique challenges, opportunities, goals and long-term plans.  Part of being a good listener is being vested in the speaker so we make those investments along the way, occasionally meeting with clients to discuss the progress on their projects without placing the burden of the clock on the client.

Flexible Arrangements.  We tailor our services to meet the specific needs of our clients.  While we strive to be our clients' trusted and long-term advisors, we understand that it is important to prioritize and stage their legal matters.  Accordingly, we have different fee arrangements depending on the situation we might arrange fees according to a project basis or by the hour. We also enter into customized arrangements to facilitate successful project outcomes or support long-term relationships as outside general counsel.

Excellent Value.  We understand the importance of providing excellent value to our clients.  We combine top-level legal training and experience with a strong client service mentality.  We strive to deliver legal expertise and sound counsel with exceptional responsiveness and efficiency.  In particular, we understand the needs of early-stage and emerging growth businesses and nonprofit ventures, recognizing that companies and individuals often times cannot support teams of lawyers.  In addition to efficiency, we offer rates that are substantially lower than the rates for comparable attorneys at larger scale law firms.

Useful Technology.  We use technology extensively to deliver, organize and provide access to your company information and documents.  For example, we use online document execution software to make it easy for you to sign and return documents. We use document collaboration software to organize, track and share documents, including to create online deal and due diligence rooms for financing and acquisition transactions. We also use a customized corporate information software, so that we can manage and track your company's equity capitalization and stock option tables.  Using this software, we can provide you with online access to this equity ownership information and other compay information and documents.
