Seattle Startup Lawyer & Attorney for Emerging Businesses
Launching a new venture is exciting but complex. A Seattle startup lawyer ensures your company is built on a solid legal foundation. I advise entrepreneurs on entity formation, founder agreements, tax planning, contract negotiation, fundraising and intellectual property strategy.
As a corporate and tax attorney based in Seattle, I understand the local startup ecosystem. Whether you’re in downtown Seattle, Bellevue or elsewhere in King County, I tailor counsel to Washington’s business and tax laws and your company’s unique goals.
From choosing between an LLC or corporation to negotiating investor agreements and protecting your intellectual property, my goal is to simplify the legal side so you can focus on innovation. I offer transparent, fixed-fee packages and responsive service.
