Our Approach

Modern tech companies navigate complex regulatory and legal landscapes. Even in the earliest days, legal planning is an essential part of building a viable company. But … lawyers are expensive and sometimes they don’t speak the same language as your business. Truthfully, it’s really hard for most non-lawyers to tell whether they are getting good advice at a fair price.

This is where we can help. We offer proven, world-wise counsel, a global network, and decades of startup experience, without the high prices and bureaucracy of big firms. We can be your fractional general counsel – a single point of contact for all your legal needs – for as many or as few hours as you need.

Think of us as your family doctor. You come to us first, and we can handle most of the day-to-day issues that a startup faces, at competitive rates. Contracts, fundraising, IP, general strategy, that kind of stuff. If you need a specialist for a complex issue, we engage with our worldwide network of reliable partners. These are lawyers who play well with startups, and we manage them to provide efficient, cost-effective results. It’s like hiring a big, international law firm, without paying the overhead.

We have a particular affinity with the European startup community. We visit often, and we listen. Whether you are trying to enter the U.S. market, or simply want a global legal advisor with a Silicon Valley mindset, we’d love to hear about your project and brainstorm with you.

Our thriving practice represents companies in the fields of Software, SaaS, AI, Biotech, Fintech, Crypto/Blockchain, Consumer Electronics, and other emerging areas. Please reach out. We’d be happy to chat and see whether Arlenbach Legal would be a good fit for your next venture or project.
