Davis Wright Tremaine's business transactions lawyers serve a diverse range of clients in their financing efforts, including start-ups seeking angel and venture capital, emerging companies in their second and third rounds of financing and established companies positioning for an IPO and beyond. We represent clients in a wide range of industries, with specific depth of experience in high technology, telecommunications, software, Internet and health care.

Our objective is to achieve timely and cost-effective representation that anticipates and addresses problems early in the legal process. For each client, we establish a team, combining lawyers with a variety of skills, sometimes from different offices, to achieve the desired efficiencies. A lead lawyer is always responsible for client relationships and to ensure that all client needs are satisfactorily handled.

Unlike firms whose sole focus is business transactions services, we at DWT are as interested in representing our clients after the financing as well as before and during. We provide a full range of services to our clients and meet all their legal needs, including financing, employment agreements, intellectual property protection, licensing, real estate, etc. DWT lawyers serve clients with a commitment to the success of their entire business strategy, not just the financing process alone.
