Start-ups And Emerging Companies

Our work with startups and entrepreneurs encompasses advice with respect to developing solid flexible foundations to facilitate profitable growth, with special attention to intellectual property safeguards, business systems, corporate and tax structures, executive incentive arrangements, financing alternatives, and liability protection. Our one-firm approach assures that all relevant legal disciplines are considered as and when needed, including tax, employee benefits, intellectual property, and real estate.

Our clients often require our guidance regarding early stage funding such as angel or seed-stage venture capital.  We help structure these transactions and we advise our clients on all aspects of the financing process, including assisting them in choosing the most appropriate form of security, such as convertible notes, SAFEs (simple agreement for future equity), and series seed preferred stock.

We take pride in representing companies from inception to successful exit.  As our clients mature and shed their start-up roots, they continue to interface regularly with Fletcher Tilton attorneys across multiple practice groups to ensure current needs are met.    Regardless of where your company currently falls along the emerging company spectrum, we invite you to contact us to learn more about how our team-oriented approach can help you achieve your goals.
