Establishing the Legal Structure of Your Business

Choosing the legal entity type for your tech startup is a major decision that affects many aspects of your business, including your ability to raise capital, in addition to establishing the taxation and liability of the business owner(s).

We start by getting to know you and understand your business. Before discussing how different legal structures affect the future of your business, we identify your business goals. Then, we help with all aspects of business formation, organization, and governance to implement the legal structure you choose for your new business.

After the legal infrastructure of your business is established, we remain dedicated to helping your business thrive and shine. We stand ready to help with any legal needs that arise during your business operations, regardless of what the matter entails.

Legal Support for Tech Startups

Depending on the nature of your company and operations, your legal needs vary somewhat. We can help with many legal concerns that commonly arise in running a business.

Contracts and Agreements

A tech startup encounters many different types of contracts and agreements. Getting legal support in the contracting process is essential, because the agreement defines your legal rights and obligations. We help in drafting new contracts and reviewing existing or proposed agreements, and with negotiating terms of a contract or guiding you through negotiating the terms yourself.

If problems arise with performance of an existing agreement, getting legal help in the early stages of a potential dispute can often help you diffuse the issue. In many situations, we can suggest solutions or help you negotiate a resolution before the problem boils over.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property rights are often a primary concern in a tech startup. We provide legal support for trademark and copyright registration, and licensing agreements to protect your intellectual property interests. Our services also include ongoing advice regarding any intellectual property issues that arise during your operations.

Commercial Real Estate Leases, Purchases and Sales

Our services include full support for commercial real estate transactions, whether you are leasing, buying, or selling. The risks in these transactions, which include title issues in a commercial real estate purchase, can be significant. We apply decades of experience in advising and representing you, to make certain your rights are fully protected.

State and Local Regulations

Colorado businesses must comply with a wide range of state and local laws and regulations. We ensure that our clients are familiar with these requirements, which cover everything from licensing and zoning to employment and environmental issues, and provide advice on them as necessary.

Business owners with employees need to know about a wide range of employee friendly laws enacted by the State of Colorado in recent years. In addition, a complete understanding of the state’s labor and employment laws can help you avoid disputes and potential litigation in the future. We guide clients through these requirements and provide advice on specific issues that arise.

Your Partner in Business

Every business owner needs a trusted lawyer who understands their operations and goals and has the experience and knowledge to respond quickly when legal issues arise. For many of our business clients who do not need full-time in-house legal counsel, The Law Office of Poorvi B. Parkhie serves as outside general counsel, a role that includes providing legal support on an on-going basis and addressing legal needs as they arise. We are fully invested in the success of every client, which means that we provide the support necessary to help you accomplish your goals — and often to exceed your expectations in the process. To that end, we always respond quickly and complete legal work in a timely manner.
