Legal Services for Businesses
Quantum Law assists startup, emerging and established businesses with their business needs, from choosing the appropriate legal entity to licensing and financing transactions.
Formation of Business Entity
Deciding whether your business will be a sole proprietorship, a limited liability company (LLC), partnership, or corporation can be a crucial first step in starting your business. By speaking with an accountant and a lawyer, you can determine what form would be best for your business enterprise.
Startup Companies
From the spark of a business idea through financing and other transactions, Quantum Law advises and assists fledgling and emerging businesses. We understand the challenges and excitement of high growth, technology oriented companies, having worked on both the company side and the investor side, to reach outstanding results for founders and investors. We advise on organizational structure, equity compensation plans (including stock option plans), day-to-day corporate matters (such as board and shareholder meetings), contracts, and equity and debt financing.
Leases
Your lease may look like standard boilerplate and you may not feel that you have any negotiating power with the owner. However, a lease agreement is often one of the biggest commitments you can make as a business owner. Let us help negotiate your lease agreement so that it works for you.
Corporate Checkup
Perhaps you have been in business for a while but have some questions about your business structure or your standard customer agreement. Contact us and for a flat fee, we will meet with you for an hour and review any questions you have about legal matters affecting your business.
Contracts
Business and contracts are inseparable. From standard form contracts, in which information is filled in, to complex agreements that are unique to particular situations, Quantum Law will work collaboratively with you to achieve the best result for your business. We will also review and negotiate contracts that are presented to you.
Debt and Equity Corporate Finance
Quantum Law represents clients in various stages of financing, from startups seeking angel and venture capital to emerging companies in their second and third rounds of financing. We provide legal advice regarding the transaction, including the structure of the transaction and compliance required under federal and state securities laws. We participate in the drafting of term sheets, agreements and “blue sky” documents, negotiate with investors, and advise regarding securities law compliance.
Stock Option Plans
Stock options are a great retention tool, especially when your business is just starting out and you cannot pay the competitive salary needed to attract talented officers and employees. Let us help you adopt a stock option plan to attract and retain the employees you need to grow your business today.
Mergers and Acquisitions
We will represent you in the sale of your business or in the purchase of a business you want to acquire. Quantum Law will closely work with you in the due diligence process to evaluate the merits of a potential transaction, negotiate the terms of the deal, and draft the documents required to close the transaction.
