Our Services
HLR is proud to offer a full complement of legal resources for you and your business. As you create and refine your products and bring in funding, you will need thorough vetting of your intellectual property portfolio to help maximize the value and protect the lifeblood of your business. You might be thinking, "it makes sense to save money early on and only call an attorney when I REALLY need one." I disagree. The cost, stress, and lost time of interviewing and retaining an attorney during an emergency far outpaces the benefits of having an attorney who intimately knows and understands your business as it grows. By keeping me in the loop from the early stages, you can be confident that your IP portfolio is protected and your day-to-day business concerns are compliant. Additionally, when something unexpected comes up, I am already on your team, ready to take control of the problem.
We typically bill hourly. However, special projects can qualify for flat-fee services. Like many law firms, we usually require a retainer prior to commencement of services. What this means is, from that moment on, I am the attorney for your business. I am on-call to answer your questions and address your concerns relating to all aspects of your business as-needed. Growing businesses often have a slow but steady stream of legal issues that pop up periodically. Perhaps it's a lease negotiation or confidentiality agreement as you expand, or a periodic collections issue. Rest assured that we will promptly find the answer to any question you might have.
Flat-fee services may include business formation documents, contract and license agreement review, and estate-planning services such as powers of attorney, wills, and business succession plans. As much as no one likes thinking about the inevitable, consider the needs of your business in the case you are temporarily unable to make business decisions. Something as simple as an illness or accident can prevent you from making critical decisions, and having a power of attorney in place for your business can keep things running smoothly until you can come back to work.
Recent projects have included:
Clearance to operate opinion in a regulated industry (alcoholic beverages)
Trademark and patent applications
Patentability opinions
501(c)3 tax-exempt applications
Buy-Sell transactions of going concerns
Non-Disclosure agreements
