ABOUT

A Lawyer WhoGets It.

Blake Turley is a business and technology attorney licensed in Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts. He founded Turley Law to be the kind of firm he wished existed when he was on the other side of the table — one that picks up the phone, explains things plainly, and already understands how your business works before you finish the sentence.

MEET BLAKE TURLEY

Business Attorney. Technology Counsel. Your Guy.

Blake worked in startups before law school. He shipped products, negotiated deals, and learned firsthand what happens when the legal work doesn’t get done. That experience changes how he practices law.

He’s spent three years building a solo practice across three states. Hundreds of contracts. Financing rounds, entity formations, corporate governance, and disputes. He’s read the playbooks that VC funds and procurement departments use — the real documents, not blog posts about them — so he knows which terms are genuinely standard and which ones are just labeled that way.

He earned a dual J.D. and Master of International Affairs from American University in two and a half years, graduated summa cum laude from Sacred Heart University, and passed the bar on the first attempt. He’s licensed in Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts.

Blake founded Turley Law in 2022 because he wanted to build a different kind of firm — one that’s honest about costs, fast on its feet, and built for people who are actually running businesses.

THE PRACTICE

What Turley Law Does.

For startups and tech companies: Outside general counsel from incorporation through funding rounds. SaaS contracts, technology agreements, corporate governance, cap tables, data privacy, and the IP assignments your contractors never signed.

For established businesses: Commercial contracts, corporate transactions, compliance across three states, and the legal infrastructure that keeps growing companies from outrunning their own foundation.

For the community: Pro bono representation for individuals and nonprofits. The legal system should work for everyone.

THE DIFFERENCE

Why Clients Stay.

Speed

Same-day response on most inquiries. Contract reviews back in 48 hours. Your deal has a deadline — your lawyer should respect that.

Plain English

Advice you can understand and act on. No legalese power trips. No 10-page memos when a paragraph does the job.

Clear pricing

You know what you’re paying before anything starts. Fixed fees for projects. Monthly retainers for ongoing work. No surprises.

Tech fluency

Blake doesn’t just advise tech companies — he builds technology. When he reviews your SaaS contract, he understands the architecture underneath the legal terms.

The playbook

The other side of every deal has a playbook. Blake has studied those playbooks. He knows what’s actually market-standard versus what someone labeled that way hoping you wouldn’t question it.

Genuine care

This isn’t a volume practice. Turley Law was built to serve real people running real businesses — and to treat every client like they matter. Because they do.

A Lawyer Who Understands Technology. For Real.

There’s a difference between a lawyer who “works with tech companies” and a lawyer who has actually written code, built integrations, and understands what happens when an API call fails.

Blake has built court opinion aggregators, practice management tools, and SEC EDGAR integrations. He completed Harvard’s CS50 for Lawyers and works with Python, APIs, and AI tools daily. When he reviews a SaaS agreement, he reads the technical documentation and the legal terms.

That means faster contract reviews, fewer rounds of “can you explain what this means technically,” and legal advice that accounts for how the technology actually works.
