Graham & Dunn offers a highly-experienced Emerging Companies & Entrepreneurs Industry Team (EC&E), comprised of attorneys whose focus and forte is to represent and serve emerging companies and individual entrepreneurs who are ready to take their ideas to the next level.
Our practice attorneys are uniquely qualified to provide focused, pragmatic legal counsel, blended with
strategic business advice, both on a full-service or transaction basis. Each of us offers real-world
business counsel; most of us have previously worked in operations, in-house or as general counsel to a
company. We appreciate the dynamics of emerging companies; we understand the sense of urgency in
starting a business, the limited resources available, and the thin margin for error. Each of us has
gravitated to this practice because we are entrepreneurial ourselves and thrive on the excitement and
energy involved in new ventures and ideas. We genuinely enjoy working with entrepreneurs and relish
the opportunity to roll up our sleeves and become an integral part of our clients’ teams.
