Referral Sources

Business and Non-Commercial Attorneys

Numerous other business attorneys, in Silicon Valley and from throughout the United States, as well as lawyers working in non-commercial fields, will regularly refer to us individual founders or groups who seek to start new companies, sometimes because the referring lawyer has a conflict and cannot undertake the representation, sometimes because the lawyer lacks the corporate, intellectual property, or other expertise needed to feel comfortable in undertaking the representation, and sometimes simply to facilitate a localized Silicon Valley transaction on behalf of a client located elsewhere in the United States and otherwise represented by the referring law firm in its general business, corporate, and intellectual property matters (California law creates traps for out-of-state counsel who are deemed to be “practicing law” within California unless they have the benefit of local counsel assisting them in a particular California-based transaction – a role that our firm can effectively fill as desired by the out-of-state referring lawyer).
