- jfarmer 14y agoOften, yes, if you have a good relationship with a well-established firm or have someone who does vouch for you. Most top tech law firms (WSGR, Orrick, Fenwick & West, Gunderson Dettmer, etc.) will defer payment or even waive certain fees for early-stage startups in exchange for a small amount of equity.
- anigbrowl 14y agoSome would. I know quite a few lawyers in startups. That's why I mentioned 'underemployed JDs' who have an incentive to explore other avenues if they can't get a job at an established law firm or public body. You might not be aware that there's a major supply-demand imbalance in the legal field right now.
