How to Know You Have Found a Great Startup Lawyer
Evaluating your startup lawyer (or any lawyer for that matter) can be a difficult task because a lawyer's work product tends to be intangible. That is, if you hired someone to build you a bookcase you could test its craftmanship in a matter of seconds. Not the case for the startup lawyer that typically deals in Word and PDF. Therefore, it's good idea to evaluate your startup lawyer in the following ways to determine if you have found a keeper.
- donna 19y agoI found our lawyer at a party in a bar... if you can hang and split a beer together, you know you'll get along.
- yubrew 19y agoI don't agree with this guy's advice. There are more than 1,000,000 lawyers in the US,[0] a bunch that want your money, but only a few that know what their doing with tech start ups. A good heuristic when developing a good start up support team is to use whoever everyone else successful is using that also passes the gut check. Same goes for accountants, VCs, etc. [0] http://www.lawschool.com/wannabes.htm http://www.lawschool.com/wannabes.htm
