TechLaw Ventures, PLLC understands the challenges that confront, and the excitement experienced by, business owners from startups to large corporations. While we specialize in advising technology businesses, we represent clients in a variety of different industries. We help businesses understand legal issues related to entity formation, capitalization, operation, corporate governance, equity buy-sell arrangements, succession planning, and exit strategies. We advise clients on entity choice, such as limited liability companies, corporations, limited partnerships, sole proprietorships, and trusts, and we prepare organizational, governing, operating, and shareholder documents, including corporate bylaws, stockholders agreements, equity incentive plans, stock options, phantom stock, partnership agreements, LLC operating agreements, buy-sell agreements, voting trust agreements, employee and independent contractor agreements, and other business transaction agreements.

We assist boards of directors and management teams in the creation and implementation of practices based on the latest legal updates. We counsel both large and small clients on a wide range of corporate governance issues, such as board fiduciary duties in oversight and decision-making, director and officer liability and indemnification, corporate governance policies, board structure and composition, board committee composition and charters, and corporate record-keeping and document retention policies. We often act like an outside “general counsel” for our clients without in-house legal counsel, and we regularly advise and assist in-house counsel of larger clients with their responsibilities.
