Early Stage Experts

At Morris, Manning & Martin, our Emerging Companies buyers are supported by veterans in many focus areas. We expertly handle venture capital financings, public offerings, mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures. We also advise clients on areas as diverse as technology licensing, employment issues and taxation needs, providing team legal support from more than two dozen practice groups. We assist our clients with their comprehensive business needs, combining legal and technological know-how with a practical understanding of the challenges of emerging companies. We bring to the table strong working relationships with investors and many service providers, and make introductions on behalf of clients where appropriate. Our goal is to provide trusted legal support for every situation encountered in the early stages of development.

Virtual General Counsel

We have a lean, team-oriented approach to client service and consider ourselves your business partners. Frequently, we complement a client’s management team by serving as "virtual" general counsel, taking a senior advisory role and participating in day-to-day discussions and board-level decisions. This approach gives our clients unusual flexibility to call on a wide range of lawyers who are already familiar with their products, technology and business model, and who understand the strategic and tactical decisions they must make. To compete in the high technology market today, a company must have great products, a precise business plan and an arsenal of tools to deploy quickly and efficiently. At Morris, Manning & Martin, we are as nimble as our clients, delivering counseling excellence to ensure your success.
