David Mitchell

David Mitchell is a New York attorney and the principal of Newer Law. He advises founders, investors, and international businesses on U.S. legal matters, working at the intersection of corporate law, cross-border transactions, business immigration, and the legal framework for artificial intelligence and AI agents.

The practice is deliberately structured as a solo firm. Every engagement is handled personally by the principal, from the initial analysis through execution, without delegation to associates. Engagements are accepted selectively so that each matter receives that level of attention.

Clients include venture-backed startups and emerging growth companies, individual founders, angel and venture investors, foreign companies entering the U.S. market, foreign nationals and employers pursuing U.S. business immigration, AI startups and enterprises deploying AI systems or agents, and companies that need outside general counsel.

Much of the firm's work is cross-border. For matters governed by the law of other jurisdictions, the firm associates with or refers to licensed local counsel and coordinates the whole transaction. The firm also accepts inquiries made by AI agents on behalf of a principal, through published machine-readable interfaces.
