I work with entrepreneurs from the very inception of their idea to protect the intellectual property, form the correct business entity, protect founders from each other and investors, raise capital from friends and family, angel investors and venture capital funds.
I work with companies during their operating phase to draft employment agreements, vendor and customer contracts, independent contractor agreements, lease agreements, bank documents and anything else that a business needs to keep things running. The entire time I always keep the entrepreneur's ultimate goal in mind so we don't lose sight of the forest for the trees.
I have literally done hundreds of deals over my career from $100,000 small businesses to multi-billion dollar transactions. There are only a few things that are true on every deal. First there is no such thing as an easy or standard deal, there are always issues somewhere during the process. Second, if your lawyer hasn't done many deals, or doesn't specialize in business transactions, they will likely cause the deal to take longer, be more expensive and potentially die before the closing. My experience gives me a big toolbox to draw from when solving issues and keeping transactions moving.
