"Today's law firms aren't cutting it. Too many companies are struggling to get the legal support they need, and too many leaders are left in the dark about their businesses' legal risks. This situation is intolerable. It stops innovative companies from achieving their potential and stifles our collective progress. Something needs to change in the legal industry to ensure all businesses can excel under the law.
​
I founded CoreServe Legal to make the law work for the modern dealmaker. I knew I couldn't do so using the traditional law firm model, because that approach is too comfortable with a status quo that just doesn't work for most businesses. I saw that idea play out firsthand while negotiating hundreds of contracts with different technology vendors and their lawyers. Time and time again, I felt business leaders' frustrations with common lawyer staples, like indirect guidance, vague standards, incomprehensible deal documents, and the notorious "billable hour." It became painfully clear that those common features outlived their usefulness to the client long ago (if they were ever useful to begin with). So, I knew I had to shake up expectations in order to change the legal landscape and promote new opportunities.
​
That's the inspiration for CoreServe Legal's intense focus on some key features, like straightforward guidance, clear service options, practical deal documents, and upfront fixed-fee pricing. Now, I hope to maintain that focus and leverage my extensive experience with intellectual property and technology transactions to define a new standard for client-centric legal services. I believe my clients deserve nothing less.
​
I am also excited to grow this firm to further the values that are important to me personally. Like most attorneys, I went to law school fully intending to use my education to promote the ideals of justice and equality and, like many others, I got side-tracked by the realities of law practice. With CoreServe Legal, I hope to get back on track with a values-driven practice, utilizing the firm's resources to promote community, diversity and entrepreneurship in the tech space with free resources and targeted service discounts (check out CoreServe Legal's value-driven discounts).
​
