Your Start-Up Personal Lawyer

If there’s one business that needs a great business savvy lawyer, it’s a start-up. While mature operating businesses have in-house lawyers on staff or on retainer, start-ups usually lack the budget to hire their own in-house lawyers or engage expensive big firm legal representation.
Michael Caolo & Associates serves as outsourced and virtual legal counsel for start-ups and emerging companies 24/7. We manage the legal aspects of your start-up so that you focus on the launch and operations on the business side. We help start-ups determine how to structure their business, draft agreements, protect intellectual property, obtain financing and much more. If your company needs an in-house lawyer but can’t afford one, call us now.
