Florida Technology Startup Attorneys
The tech startup industry in Florida is as strong as it ever has been. Attorneys at Whitehouse & Cooper are heavily involved with the tech industry and are available to discuss the needs of tech startups around the state. We regularly deal with the issues that keep startup entrepreneurs up at night: company formation, licensing intellectual property, developer/vendor relationships, funding sources, and a host of other matters. We’re available to meet with you face to face in Orlando or Tampa, and we’re happy to meet virtually if you’re outside of those areas. (After all, we’re a technology law firm and understand what it’s like to do business in the virtual world.)
Call us at (321) 285-2300 to discuss your tech startup options.
Although tech startup inventions are unique to the startup, the legal questions and issues each startup has are not unique. We’re often asked the same series of questions, depending on where the business is in its development. Technology entrepreneurs have enough tasks to handle in launching new products, so leave the legal mumbo jumbo to us.
Nearly every tech startup asks the following questions during the startup lifecycle:
- Should I form a business if I’m still developing my product?
- How can I protect my intellectual property?
- Should my business have a business plan?
- How do I get funding for my business?
- Is crowdfunding right for my business?
- What type of business is best for my company?
- Who can help me with licensing agreements?
- Should I file for a patent?
- When should I trademark my logo and other distinguishing characteristics of my business?
- Do I need to file anything to protect my trade secrets?
- We’re hiring our first employee; what do we do?
- How can I mitigate risks to my business before crowdsourcing?
If you’re asking yourself one of the questions above, call us to discuss your options.
