Introduction
The Pacific Northwest is home to some of the
most significant and dynamic technology companies in the country.
We’re proud to say that many of them have been Davis Wright Tremaine
clients since they were start-ups, turning to us for counsel throughout
their cycle of growth and success.
Some of the crucial strategy issues we
tackle for emerging business and technology companies include:
- Choice of business entity
- Corporate finance - strategic investments,
seed financing, venture capital transactions
(mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, initial public offerings)
- Intellectual property protection and
licensing, portfolio strategy and development, patents
- Employment-related issues - contracts,
handbooks, confidentiality agreements, equity incentive arrangements
- Domestic and International tax planning
advice and assistance
- Immigration assistance for technical
and other key personnel
- Internet business strategies - licensing
and hosting agreements
Alternative Fee Arrangements
Like all professional services firms, we generally bill attorney time by the hour, with a wide range of hourly rates based on experience. We are open to alternative fee arrangements. To this end, we can discuss a variety of arrangements and are prepared to make specific proposals once we understand the scope and volume of work.
