Practice Areas
~
Appeals and strategic litigation
We regularly file briefs before the Supreme Court of the United States and the court of appeals, including about civil rights and securities law. Additionally, we advise national non-profits, associations, and foundations on constitutional law and litigation strategy.
Startups + frontier technology
We counsel early-stage startups (typically seed and Series-A stage) on formation, compliance, and fundraising across a variety of fields (e.g., cleantech; open source software; fintech; digital assets). Moreover, we enjoy collaborating with founders and engineers with the legal aspects of product design.
Regulations
We help synthesize and demystify federal rules and guidance involving a number of agencies (e.g., SEC, CFTC, Treasury, OSTP, CFPB). We also help conduct statutory and regulatory surveys, draft comment letters, and track relevant Congressional legislation.
Outside general counsel
We can help small businesses, startups, and non-profits with everyday legal needs such as: drafting and negotiating contracts; administering employee incentives and equity grants; drafting master service agreements; and developing/implementing company policies and compliance programs.
