Startup and Small Business Practice
We believe that economic prosperity starts with entrepreneurs. Anthony Law first built its extensive client base by representing countless startups and small businesses. As a result, the firm’s startup and small business practice possesses valuable expertise on both legal issues and practical operations. When working with a new business, Anthony Law first evaluates the client’s venture, then provides guidance on the best vehicle to structure the company. After formation, our firm assists with all legal aspects of developing and growing the business, including drafting and negotiating contracts, employment issues, protecting intellectual property, and pursuing and defending litigation in both state and federal court.
