Corporate

Startups & Entrepreneurs

Whether you are a serial entrepreneur or a first-time founder of a business, the startup lawyers at Morningstar Law Group will work closely with you to get your business established in an appropriate manner and positioned for long-term success. We assist entrepreneurs with the legal issues involved with starting a business — from forming a corporation to establishing shareholder agreements, implementing employee stock option or restricted stock plans, securing outside funding and protecting intellectual property.

Many of these issues can pose unexpected challenges. That is especially true when you seek funding from outside investors. Our business startup attorneys can help you evaluate various funding options — angel investors, crowdfunding, venture capital, et cetera — and assess the risks and benefits involved with each approach. Our lawyers regularly assist entrepreneurs with complex securities regulations associated with certain types of investments.

Our attorneys have been working in the startup space for decades. Many of our clients are involved in software, technology, life sciences or biotech, just to name a few. Our attorneys are also plugged into the local funding community. Our knowledge of who is looking to make new investments, and what type of investments are most appealing, enables us to provide valuable, real time guidance on market terms to our clients.

At Morningstar Law Group, we are proud to have the same entrepreneurial spirit as many of our early-stage clients. We’re nimble, flexible, and cost-efficient. We’re focused on practical solutions that drive your businesses forward. And we are by your side every step of the way, providing hands-on support and personal attention. Our goal is to become a long-term partner who can grow with you and assist you as your business evolves.
