When should you hire a Technology Lawyer for your startup or first big enterprise contract negotiation? Typically, Andrew’s startup clients seek his legal advice to incorporate when they are about to sign a contract with their first customer and need to put in place a corporate legal structure.

 Andrew strongly advises against waiting until the last minute for a tech startup to incorporate, and would like to see startups hiring a tech agreement lawyer when the company's idea starts to take shape and is about to create intellectual property. 

​This creation of intellectual property can happen quickly. For example, during the very first discussion two people have on a Zoom call, or meeting for lunch, they could discuss a new idea and start to develop the code. It is during these early stage bursts of ideas that some of the best intellectual property can be created.

​If these ideas are not protected by a company being incorporated with shareholders assigning all of the intellectual property to the new company, you run the risk of someone walking out the door with very valuable information. 

​No matter where in the United States your tech startup business is located, or what state a customer is based in, Andrew can help you with your tech contracts and understanding of technology law. Tech startups, companies, vendors, customers, and resellers from California, Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Florida, Georgia, New York, and Pennsylvania all have retained Andrew's law firm.

In also building two SaaS startup companies with partners, Andrew has risked his own time and money in doing so. Andrew's clients like the fact that he has rolled up his sleeves and gotten in the weeds as an entrepreneur. The term that Andrew has heard time and time again from clients is empathy since he has been in the same or similar situations with startups that his clients have launched.
