Gunderson is a fine law firm but probably one of the most expensive ones around. I doubt they will do anything for you if you do not give them 5K at least. If you want to save money, you should hack the system and use a start-up lawyer as well. By start up lawyer, I do not mean one that specializes in start-ups but one that is a startup him/her self. I.e. one that has his/her own practice.* You have to understand that those top law firms have a strict up or out policy so they routinely get rid of most of their associates. Basically, if you cannot make partner, you are usually out eventually. And almost no-one makes partner. So there are many capable lawyers with top training that leave these firms every year. If you are a bit savvy you can get a lawyer that is the same caliber as the usual top law firm lawyer but will charge you less and might even do better work because he/she is not working 16 hour days. *After I wrote this I realized that a law practice would not qualify as a start up under the pg definition because it is not scalable, but you get my point.
