Global Startup Counsel Registry

The following attorneys work with startups and entrepreneurs. They pay nothing to be included here and StartupGC receives no compensation or anything else of value from them. All are believed to be competent and professional, but are listed solely for your information, not as legal advice, nor as a guarantee or endorsement. Do your own research. Ask questions about rates, services, and experience. Email BusinessLawSeminarGroup@gmail.com to nominate other attorneys or to provide feedback. Nominated counsel should have broad experience with startups, provide free initial consultations, and offer startups/founders discounted rates. For more on selecting and managing counsel and for keeping legal costs as low as possible, see our article, Selecting and Managing Startup Counsel
