Many of the businesses with whom we work are focused on scaling and growth as an immediate or long-term goal. These businesses can be at any stage in their lifecycle, from startups to more established companies, and work in a variety of industries, such as consumer packaged goods (CPG) and service-based businesses.
Typically, these clients have limited regular legal support when we begin working with them, but have realized that they need to invest in their legal infrastructure to better take advantage of new opportunities and manage new challenges that they are facing as they grow and scale.
What spurs growing and scaling companies to action?
Commonly, these clients come to us because they are:
- Adding new products and services
- Entering into new trade channels
- Converting contractors to employees and/or adding new employees and contractors
- Entering into new partnerships or joint ventures
- Seeking investment and needing advice on identifying their intellectual property and company value
- Preparing for sale or investment
- Acquiring another company or taking on a new business partner
- Handling the exit of a business partner or looking to sell the business
How does ND Galli Law help these clients?
We are frequently asked to execute on specific projects, such as a particular agreement, IP protection issue, strategic transaction, or business dispute. In those circumstances, we work with our clients to understand the value and priority of the project in the context of their overall business and business goals and ensure that the legal services we deliver meets those goals.
For many of our growing and scaling business clients, we provide a holistic legal evaluation of the business, including identifying all the legal support necessary to execute on long- and short-term business goals and strategies as well as identifying relevant areas of legal risk. We develop and implement an actionable, prioritized plan for legal protection that meets these goals and minimizes risks within the company’s budget.
For clients whose legal needs are more extensive, we serve as part-time outside general counsel, handling a variety of matters including all of the above and also employment and independent contractor matters.
Why do growing and scaling companies choose ND Galli Law?
In addition to our core values , our growing and scaling clients value that we are business owners or have worked in house for businesses and know what it is like to start, run and grow a business. We have worked with large companies so we know what smaller companies will need – and will not need – as they grow, which helps us stay within reasonable budgets. We believe in educating our clients to be smart consumers of legal services and to ensure they have the legal knowledge necessary to run their businesses better and be properly positioned for growth. Clients tell us they like to work with us because we speak their language. They see working with us as an investment in their future, not just an ordinary business expense.
