Small Business Owners

Small to Medium Sized Business Owners

Our traditional client base consists of private owners of businesses of all types. Though much of our work today is in high tech, we continue to serve small to medium sized businesses at many levels on behalf of dozens of currently active clients at any given time.

Our strength here is that we attempt to provide skilled advice and services from a business specialty perspective. While there are of course many fine business lawyers who provide such services, we have found over many years’ experience that small business clients can often become frustrated through ill-fitting arrangements in which they sometimes find themselves, either because they have gone to a large law firm only to realize that they are paying for the learning time of inexperienced lawyers or because they have gone to a general practitioner who does not necessarily have the experience or specialty expertise to deal effectively with their particular business needs.

Our goal in this area is to attempt to offer quality services that meet high standards in what can often prove to be complex business areas and to do so in a way that is focused, practical, and cost-effective for serious business clients. This does not mean “budget” as an end in itself, for the issues facing most entrepreneurs and small businesses are not well-served through corner-cutting. It means, rather, a direct and practical process that is guided by the experience of a seasoned professional and by sound strategic advice, to the exclusion of extraneous goals such as a lawyer’s desire to dabble in a new area while on hiatus from working in non-commercial areas of law or by a larger law firm’s need to fill billable time by generating arbitrary research projects or by piling up paper as an end in itself.

For our law firm, this particular area is a soil well-tilled over many years, and it is one that, even as we have gained more and more of a specialty focus in representing business start-ups in the technology field, remains a mainstay of our regular and recurring activities as strategic advisors and legal counselors to the business community.
