Emerging Businesses

Sherman & Howard's emerging business attorneys recognize that starting off on the right foot in any business enterprise is critical−not only to the success of the business, but also to avoiding unpredictable and sometimes costly legal consequences. Our multi-disciplinary legal teams have counseled thousands of entrepreneurs and investors in the critical first steps toward establishing a foothold in a new business enterprise. We help to provide the necessary focus and guidance in how to position the business for market entry and lay the groundwork for successful operations. We assist in all phases of this process, including: entity selection and structure; establishing and clearing the basis for future intellectual property rights; due diligence to ensure that assets are properly protected and secured; developing sound and workable policies for protection of trade secrets; securing employee commitments; establishing relationships with vendors and suppliers; developing branding techniques; acquiring necessary financing; negotiating lease and other capital acquisition needs; and a host of other areas. We work with you as part of the entrepreneurial team through these critical stages with the goal of ensuring a successful and long-enduring business.
