Binance Decision Clarifies Extraterritorial Application of U.S. Securities Laws to Digital Asset Transactions
Featuring an interdisciplinary team — with concentrations ranging from corporate finance, tax and securities to entity formation, regulatory compliance, employment and intellectual property — our entrepreneurial business attorneys have a long history of helping entrepreneurs and small companies plan and blossom into powerful contributors on local and national stages.
We assist startups and emerging growth companies in every stage of capital development, from initial seed capital to follow-on and growth equity financing. We also represent numerous venture capital firms and private equity sponsors, for which we provide comprehensive due diligence reviews and negotiate the terms of the investment to include preferred share terms, investor rights/stockholder agreements, as well as executive employment agreements, option plans and grants.
We recognize the desire of many business owners to control their own destinies, and we work closely with clients to ensure a smooth investment process as they look to expand their businesses through strategic partnerships and alliances. We bring both passion and pragmatism to our support of startups, deftly navigating clients through the myriad of challenges found in today’s financial, tax, regulatory, and technology-based business environments.

A creative, can-do approach.
Our attorneys have a passion for helping startups and emerging businesses turn a project or budding idea into a thriving business. We'll work with you to find the right level of support based on where the business is today and where you want it to be moving forward. Our team is small enough to provide personal service but large enough to scale with you in both size and legal complexity.
Our attorneys seldom represent startups in a single isolated matter but work closely with these clients in every stage and facet of the company lifecycle. During a startup’s formative period, we help them set capital objectives, manage risk and compliance, and keep a scalable pace as they expand into new markets. At critical stages downrange, we might advise them on increasing funding rounds, navigate them through their first industry partnership or negotiate a complex merger, acquisition or exit. Whatever the case may be, we have the resources to satisfy the legal needs of startups at every step of the way. We keep costs down by being flexible, meticulous, and getting it right the first time.
Our attorneys have a long history of working with angel investors, venture capitalists, private-equity firms and other parties engaged by a startup at different stages of the investment cycle. We have first-hand knowledge of what these investors expect, how they operate, and which arrangements are likely to pique their interests while preserving a startup’s desired autonomy and IP assets. This ensures a smoother investment process as well as the mutual benefit of parties on both sides of the arrangement.
We understand that when launching a business, many startups may be wary of spending money on legal costs, yet that’s exactly when they need to get their legal matters just right to avoid problems down the road. We’ll work with you to find the right level of support and keep costs down by being meticulous, flexible, and getting it right the first time.
