Startups & Scaleups
Strategic partners for strategic thinkers.
You focus on creating innovative products and services. We’ll focus on nuts and bolts legal and compliance issues.
Our entrepreneurial track record sets us apart from other attorneys.
When you are starting a business, your concerns are about product/market fit, funding, competitors, partners, and untold other priorities. We help clients in a variety of industries establish a firm legal foundation based on their immediate needs and long term growth or exit strategies. Our entrepreneurial track record sets us apart from other attorneys. Proteus Discovery Group, which we founded in 2015, provides eDiscovery services to publicly traded and private corporations, national non-profits, government agencies, and some of the largest law firms in the country. We spun DiscoveryMaster, an eDiscovery software reporting tool, out of Proteus in 2020. Other attorneys can tell you about entrepreneurs they’ve helped; we can provide counsel based on an entirely different perspective.
