Attorneys at Ross Law Group act as legal counsel to a number of emerging growth and mid-size businesses, overseeing all legal aspects of their operations. If a company has not yet been formed, we help the founders choose the appropriate business entity, develop equity compensation plans, and structure founders’ relations and stock issuances. Once a company is properly established, we prepare and negotiate all types of agreements to propel our clients’ businesses forward, such as contractor agreements, software license agreements, master service agreements, and SaaS agreements.
All of our senior attorneys have substantial M&A experience, honed at international law firms, and we are frequently representing both buyers and sellers and asset purchase and stock purchase transactions.
Our attorneys have helped numerous companies enter the U.S. market, for we have clients on every continent except for Antarctica. We advise clients as to U.S. entity formation; prepare transfer pricing agreements; negotiate business deals with U.S. businesses on behalf of non-U.S. clients; structure investments into U.S. companies; assist clients with hiring of U.S. personnel; and advise clients in regard to making investments in U.S. companies as well as receiving investments from private equity funds and high net worth individuals domiciled in the United States and elsewhere.
