Each year, Lowenstein Sandler helps create hundreds of new businesses. As a law firm for startups, we understand the entrepreneurial mindset and the need to be connected both to other entrepreneurs and to early-stage investing. We have built some of the most well-respected educational and networking experiences in the New York venture community through our VentureCrush events.
We close over 500 venture financing transactions each year–more than any other New York firm and among the top handful nationally. We work with dozens of angel investors and funds, from individual investors to the most iconic names in venture. Because we represent both venture funds and companies seeking financing, our lawyers often are the catalyst in connecting the entrepreneur and the seed investor.
Like our entrepreneur and investor clients, we are successful because we see the world differently. We believe that one of our primary tasks at the early stage is to help the startup be a smart consumer of legal services. We have created innovative programs to make sure that what needs to be done gets done and that scarce resources can be devoted as much as possible to business growth.
We are thought leaders in this space–our lawyers have taught at Wharton and Columbia Business School and have lectured at law schools around the country.
