What GetsDone Here.
Every one of these has its own deep-dive page. Here's the short version — in words that don't require a law degree to understand.
What Gets Done Here.
Whatever brought you here, Turley Law has seen it before. Not from a textbook. From the inside. From building products, shipping code, sitting in boardrooms, and learning what happens when the legal work doesn't get done.
SaaS & Software Contracts
MSAs, subscription agreements, ToS, API licensing, and reseller deals — drafted by an attorney who knows what uptime means without Googling it.
Startup Financing & Founder Agreements
SAFEs, convertible notes, priced rounds, founder equity splits. The documents get prepared, the terms get explained, and nobody signs anything they don’t understand.
Outside General Counsel
A dedicated business attorney on retainer who already knows the company, the contracts, and the risk profile — without the six-figure salary.
Business Formation & Entity Structuring
LLCs, corporations, multi-entity structures, and operating agreements — done right, with planning that holds up when things get complicated.
Data Privacy & Cybersecurity
Privacy policies, DPAs, SOC 2 readiness, GDPR/CCPA compliance, and incident response planning for companies that actually handle user data.
Contract Review, Drafting & Negotiation
Vendor agreements, commercial contracts, NDAs — drafted, reviewed, redlined, negotiated, or killed. Whatever the situation calls for.
Technology Agreements
MSAs, vendor contracts, software licensing, and integration agreements for tech companies. Written by someone who reads the technical documentation, not just the legal terms.
IP & Licensing
Software licensing, open source compliance, IP assignments, trademark strategy, and trade secrets. Your code is an asset — treat it like one.
Regulatory Compliance
Employment policies, multi-state compliance, corporate filings, and privacy regulations. The boring stuff that saves your business when things get interesting.
Civil Litigation
Contract disputes, shareholder conflicts, business torts, and commercial litigation across Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts. State and federal courts.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Asset purchases, stock acquisitions, acqui-hires, due diligence, and exit strategies. From LOI to closing — and everything between.

I Worked at Startups Before Law School. It Shows.
Most business attorneys practice law. Few understand how businesses actually operate — the pressure to ship, the investor timeline, the enterprise deal that needs to close this quarter.
What's different here.
- Business context first — Every legal recommendation starts with understanding your business objective. The law serves the strategy, not the other way around.
- Technical fluency — SaaS architectures, API integrations, data flows, deployment models. These aren't abstract concepts. They're factored into the legal advice you receive.
- Same-day responses — Deals don't wait for lawyers. Neither should you.
- You know the price first — Fixed fees for defined scope. Monthly retainers for ongoing work. No surprises.

One Attorney. Three States.
Licensed in Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts — handling both transactional and litigation matters across all three jurisdictions.
Why that matters.
- One attorney for everything — instead of coordinating between firms in each state, you have one person who understands all three.
- Employment law varies wildly — paid leave, non-competes, and classification rules differ dramatically between CT, NY, and MA.
- Court access — state and federal court representation across the region when disputes arise.
- Entity strategy — Delaware formation with home-state qualification. Registered agents. Annual compliance.
Whether your business operates in one state or all three, having counsel who handles the full picture eliminates the overhead of conflicting advice from separate firms.

Things People Ask.
Get answers to common questions about our legal services.
Primarily startups, SaaS companies, tech businesses, and growing SMBs. Clients range from solo founders incorporating for the first time to established companies with complex commercial contracts and multi-state operations. The common thread is businesses that need practical, responsive legal counsel without BigLaw overhead.
Three key differences: (1) Direct access -- work directly with a senior attorney, not a junior associate. (2) Fixed pricing -- know what you'll pay before the work starts. No hourly billing surprises. (3) Speed -- same-day responses, fast turnaround, and practical advice oriented toward business outcomes rather than billable hours.
Attorney Blake Turley is licensed in Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts. This covers transactional matters (contracts, corporate, financing) and litigation in all three states, including state and federal courts across the tri-state region.
Most work is done on a fixed-fee or monthly retainer basis. Fixed fees for defined projects (contract drafting, entity formation, transaction support). Monthly retainers for ongoing outside general counsel relationships. Hourly billing is available when scope is truly unpredictable (typically litigation). Pricing is always discussed upfront before any work begins.
Outside general counsel (OGC) is an ongoing relationship -- a monthly retainer that covers day-to-day legal needs: contract review, employment questions, corporate governance, vendor negotiations. Think of it as having an in-house lawyer without the full-time salary. Project-based work covers specific engagements: entity formation, financing round, M&A transaction, or a particular contract negotiation.
For transactional matters (contracts, corporate, IP, privacy), geography is flexible -- many clients operate nationally or globally. For litigation, the practice covers state and federal courts in CT, NY, and MA. For matters in other jurisdictions, coordination with trusted local counsel is available.
Most engagements begin within 24-48 hours of agreement on scope and terms. Urgent matters (closing deadlines, time-sensitive contracts, emergency disputes) are accommodated whenever possible. The initial consultation is typically scheduled within a day or two.
Any stage. Pre-revenue founders need entity formation and founder agreements. Early-stage companies need contracts and financing support. Growth-stage companies need ongoing counsel, employment policies, and compliance. Mature companies need M&A support and complex transactions. The engagement scales with the business.
