Starting Up a New Business
When you are considering starting up a new business, be sure that you have representation from a qualified business law attorney who has experience handling all aspects of a start-up. Beyond making decisions about business entity organization and incorporation, you also need to consider financing, contracts, intellectual property protection and many other things.
Starting a new business takes a lot of time and money. Having a comprehensive plan in place at the front end can go a long way toward ensuring a successful beginning. At the San Jose, California-based DPA Law Group, we have worked with many start-up companies throughout Silicon Valley and the South Bay area.
Comprehensive Customized Solutions
Our lawyers work with each client to determine the short- and long-term goals for the business. We will use that information to create a customized solution that accommodates all your needs and allows for the growth of the business in the future. We have helped clients fund and capitalize their businesses through bridge loans, private placements, preferred stock financings and venture capital. We also work with you to ensure compliance with corporate governance and securities regulations.
Another important area to consider is contracts and agreements. We provide a complete set of agreements to document all employee and vendor relationships. Protecting proprietary information and trade secrets is extremely important to your business, and we will work with you to devise sound agreements that fully protect your interests.
