Summary

I'm the founder and Chairman of a pre-revenue cybersecurity startup incorporated in Georgia. Our company has developed an innovative cybersecurity platform that has the potential to significantly advance enterprise cybersecurity, and we are now focused on building the company for long-term growth. I'm looking for a long-term legal counsel, not just someone to handle a single matter. Our goal is to establish a relationship with a law firm that can serve as our outside general counsel as the company grows. At this stage, we're seeking guidance on corporate governance, shareholder agreements, board matters, and other general legal issues that arise in an early-stage technology company. We are also navigating a potential shareholder dispute that may require strategic legal guidance. Our objective is to resolve matters professionally and efficiently while avoiding unnecessary litigation whenever possible. Because we are still an early-stage, pre-revenue startup, we're particularly interested in firms that offer one or more of the following: Startup or emerging-company legal packages Fixed-fee or predictable monthly pricing Flexible or deferred-fee arrangements Practical, business-oriented legal advice Ideally, the firm has experience representing technology startups in areas such as: Corporate governance Founder and shareholder agreements Board governance Equity and stock issuances Venture financing Intellectual property strategy Commercial contracts Employment and contractor matters If you've worked with a Georgia law firm that you would highly recommend, I'd greatly appreciate an introduction or referral. Personal recommendations from founders, investors, or executives who have firsthand experience are especially valuable. If you're an attorney or represent a firm that believes it may be a good fit, I'd be happy to connect for an introductory conversation. Thank you
