Areas of Practice
Corporate Law
Technology and Data Privacy
We work in the tech industry and understand the needs of machine learning, deep learning, and any application that requires the collection of large amounts of user data. We can help make sure that your system meets the requirements of any laws or regulations.
commercial transactions
At every stage of a company, structuring your transactions will be critically important to ensure that you receive exactly what you expect and you don't unwittingly box your business into a corner. We draft and advise clients at all levels of complexity.
Investment
SAFE notes, convertible notes, friends and family, accredited investors, anti-dilution, pari passu. You need someone to represent you who thoroughly understands not only the terms of these investment tools, but takes the time to understand the underlying business needs.
employment
As a small or mid-sized business, employment mishaps seem unlikely, but it is easy to make simple mistakes that can cost you your business. We work with clients to ensure good employment practices so that employees are treated fairly and our clients are protected.
Creative Industry
Creative industries like art, design, and entertainment, have unique legal requirements. We work with creative professionals to protect their work and interface with their clients in a way that ensures that they retain the value of their creative input.
Business formation
There are dozens of considerations that go into launching a new business, from IP ownership to equity division to tax treatment of different ownership structures. We have not only walked clients through the process, we've done this ourselves.
Public Interest Law
Immigration and asylum
We are passionate about protecting those who suffer under the threat of persecution and physical harm around the world. Thanks to our private clients, we are able to dedicate significant resources to representing asylum seekers who cannot afford private counsel of their own.
cooperatives and alternative ownership
There is no single correct way to organize a business. We believe that businesses organized with alternative ownership structures can drive just as much value as traditionally formed organizations. We are passionate about helping these organizations line up incentive structures and oversight to ensure success.
economic justice
As a Cambridge, Massachusetts based law firm, we witness first hand the brutal affects of gentrification and wage disparities. We believe that it is important that public policy take the social cost of these economic gains into considering.
