Startup Phase   

Headquartered in San Francisco, deeply embedded within Silicon Valley, the Bay Area, and beyond, we are committed to guiding small and startup businesses through today’s fiercely competitive landscape. 

Early involvement of seasoned legal counsel in the genesis of a new business venture can prevent potentially devastating errors for entrepreneurs and company founders.

Alongside legal expertise, our San Francisco-based small business attorneys bring substantial business experience, enabling proactive management of legal risks and providing expert guidance across various business domains. 

At Primum, we empower clients to control costs and proactively evade potential issues before they manifest, all while offering services at accessible rates. We assist clients in legal domains, including: 

– Formation of entities and corporate governance

– Concerns relating to director and officer liability 
– Compliance with securities regulations 
– Employment issues 
– Other legal concerns 

Moreover, our firm routinely negotiates diverse contracts on behalf of clients, securing more favorable terms and enhanced legal protection than they might have secured independently. As a genuine partner, we position our clients for success. 

Corporate Growth and Expansion Phase  

With a wealth of experience in corporate law and a focus on international transactions, our team goes beyond the fundamental task of facilitating capital raising. We offer comprehensive guidance and strategic advice tailored to the unique needs of each company. 

When it comes to international expansion, our expertise comes into play in various scenarios. For companies aiming to establish a presence in the United States, we provide nuanced strategies that align with the intricacies of entering this market. This includes navigating legal frameworks, understanding regulatory requirements, and devising business structures that optimize success within the US landscape. 

Conversely, for entities seeking to expand beyond the US borders, our advisory services encompass comprehensive strategies for global growth. We assist in analyzing target markets, assessing regulatory environments, evaluating potential risks, and formulating tailored plans for successful expansion into new international territories. 

Our role isn’t solely about securing funding; it’s about guiding businesses toward sustainable and strategic growth. Whether it’s entering the US market or extending from the US to global arenas, our team is dedicated to providing insightful advice and effective strategies to facilitate successful international business expansion. 

Exit Stage  

Navigating the complexities of business exits demands astute legal guidance. Whether it’s a merger, acquisition, or employee buyout, our seasoned legal team offers comprehensive support to facilitate seamless transitions for your company’s next phase. 

In the realm of mergers and acquisitions, we provide strategic counsel throughout the entire process. From initial negotiations to due diligence, contract drafting, regulatory compliance, and finalizing agreements, our expertise ensures a smooth and favorable outcome. 

When it comes to employee buyouts, we understand the intricate balance between the interests of the departing employees and the continuity of business operations. Our legal support is geared towards structuring equitable agreements, addressing regulatory compliance, and navigating potential complexities, ensuring a fair and efficient buyout process. 

At every stage of the exit strategy, our goal is to protect your interests and streamline the process. With our tailored legal advice and meticulous attention to detail, we aim to make your business exit as seamless and successful as possible.
