Startup and Emerging Growth Companies

Robinson Bradshaw understands the unique set of legal and strategic business needs of startup and emerging growth companies, and the entrepreneurs behind them. The attorneys in our startup and emerging growth company practice have worked with hundreds of startup and emerging growth companies across a broad range of industries, and have adopted best practices uniquely suited to meet those needs.

We provide our clients, no matter how small, with the partner-level attention typically only found at boutique law firms, while appropriately utilizing our junior attorneys to provide services efficiently and cost-effectively. We are able to provide this partner-level attention because we are selective with respect to the companies that we will agree to represent.

As a trusted advisor to our clients we strive to do more than simply provide excellent legal services. We endeavor to leverage our deep experience and network within the entrepreneurial community to provide our clients with the insights and introductions that can accelerate the maturation of their businesses. For example, over the last 50 years Robinson Bradshaw has built relationships with participants at all levels of the entire entrepreneurial financing value chain including angel investors, venture capital and private equity firms (and the limited partners that invest in those firms), as well as traditional and venture banks, and we routinely seek to make introductions that will be mutually beneficial to our clients, as appropriate.

We employ an interdisciplinary team-based approach to client service that leverages the experience of Robinson Bradshaw attorneys across all of the firm’s practice groups to ensure that our clients are provided high quality legal services across a wide array of industries and legal disciplines.

As a corporate and commercial law firm, our startup and emerging growth company clients can take comfort in the fact that our ability to provide high quality legal services will scale as rapidly as their businesses require. We are well positioned to handle a company’s diverse set of legal needs from inception through merger, acquisition or initial public offering and beyond.
