THE PRACTICE

Big-Firm Knowledge. Small-Firm Speed.

Turley Law is a boutique technology and business law firm -- and that is not just a tagline. It means you work directly with a senior attorney who handles everything from startup fundraising to federal litigation.

For startups: Outside general counsel from incorporation through multiple funding rounds. Corporate governance, cap tables, 409A valuations, and the contracts that move the business forward.

For businesses: Civil litigation, employment disputes, commercial contracts, and regulatory compliance across three states.

For the community: Pro bono representation for individuals and nonprofits, because access to justice matters.

THE DIFFERENCE

What Clients Actually Care About

Speed

Same-day responses. Fast contract turnaround. Because deals don't wait for lawyers and neither should you.

Plain English

Legal advice you can actually understand and act on. No legalese, no hedging, no 10-page memos when a paragraph will do.

Transparent Pricing

Fixed fees and monthly retainers. Know what you're paying before the work starts. No surprise invoices.

Tech Fluency

SaaS architectures, APIs, data flows, and deployment models are part of the legal analysis -- not abstract concepts that need explaining.

Business Context

Every recommendation starts with the business objective. The law serves the strategy, not the other way around.

Direct Access

Work directly with a senior attorney. No associates, no gatekeepers, no re-explaining the business every time.

Where Law Meets Technology

Blake brings a hands-on understanding of technology to his legal practice. He builds tools to improve how legal services are delivered -- from court opinion aggregators to practice management platforms with SEC EDGAR integration.

Trained at Harvard's CS50 for Lawyers and fluent in Python, APIs, and AI tools, he speaks the same language as the technical teams he advises. When reviewing a SaaS contract or negotiating a software license, he understands the underlying architecture -- not just the legal terms.

He also hosts the Tabula Rasa Podcast, providing educational legal content for entrepreneurs and business owners.

How the Firm Works With Clients

Every engagement is built around two principles: clarity and responsiveness.

  • Clear scope, clear pricing. Before any work begins, clients know exactly what is being done and what it costs. Fixed fees for projects. Monthly retainers for ongoing work. No hourly billing surprises.
  • Direct communication. Email, phone, or video -- whatever works best. No intermediaries, no layers.
  • Fast turnaround. Responses within 24 hours (usually same-day). Contract reviews in 48 hours. Urgent matters accommodated whenever possible.
  • Business-first advice. The goal is never just to identify problems -- it is to provide solutions that work within the business context and timeline.
