Startups & Emerging Companies
In today’s fast-paced world, RKJ Global provides legal advice and strategy to entrepreneurs, start-up entities and owners of small businesses seeking to launch a product, service or technology, or expand their reach. As with most entrepreneurial endeavors, a balance between risk management and aggressive business planning and implementation must be achieved. RKJ works closely with the principal entrepreneurs, business owners, lenders and financial investors to co-exist and agree upon a strategic set of principles to govern the sometimes whirl-wind activities.
The RKJ Startups & Emerging Companies practice typically includes guidance as to structuring of the business and/or entities, drafting and implementing corporate or entity constitutional and governing documents (including operating agreements, shareholder agreements, by-laws and resolutions), financing and investment documentation, regulatory compliance and intellectual property considerations. Perhaps more importantly, RKJ assists with the formation and review of the business plan, market research and strategic goals.
