The Approach: Business-First Legal Counsel
Legal advice that ignores business reality isn't useful. Good counsel understands that:
- Deals need to close. Contracts should protect without killing transactions. The goal is signed agreements, not perfect documents.
- Speed matters. Startups move fast. Legal can't be the bottleneck. Responsiveness and practical advice trump theoretical perfection.
- Context is everything. A Series A term sheet review is different from reviewing a Fortune 500 enterprise deal. Advice should match the situation.
- Relationships are assets. Long-term client relationships mean understanding the business deeply—not starting from scratch every engagement.
This isn't about being a pushover. It's about knowing what matters and fighting the right battles.
