ABOUT LWD ADVISORS

Our mission at LWD Advisors is to provide early-stage companies with an experienced General Counsel and the functionality of a nimble in-house legal team – all at a stage of growth when neither should be affordable.

Our approach at LWD is fundamentally different from working with a traditional law firm. When you work with a law firm, you – the client – need to know when to seek help, how to find the right help, and how to cost-effectively manage the law firm’s work. Law firm lawyers have typically never worked in a company before, and they tend to practice a very conservative, detailed, and expensive style of lawyering. That mode of lawyering is the opposite of what most startup founders want and need.

Drawing on my years of experience as an in-house legal executive, LWD engages in the most helpful ways possible … by learning your business, proactively raising and resolving legal matters, closely integrating at all levels of your company, and implementing simple and practical approaches to address areas like commercial contracting, People/HR matters, litigation, and Intellectual Property.
