An great startup tech lawyer, deep experience but w/o all the overhead of a big firm

Karolyn and I began working together a decade ago when she was at a big name firm and I was a first time Tech CEO. I have since moved far away but still rely on her for advice, counsel, business formation and complex matters related to options and grants. She is personable, responsive and most of a...ll she provides rock solid advice at a very reasonable cost and I highly recommend her for any of these kinds of startup services.

A Invaluable Member of our Small Business!

Karolyn is incredibly thorough in providing a wide range of legal services for our small business. This includes oversight and creation of legal documents for formation, operational agreements (e.g. indemnification), investments (e.g. convertible notes) and customer engagements (e.g. review and creat...ion of T&Cs for domestic and international). She communicates extremely well and offers clear and concise guidance for critical topics that overlap with accounting. For a small C corp, many of the legal consequences are not apparent. As an example, she doesn't just craft the legal documents for equity deals with investors but also helps us evaluate the impact on our company's capitalization and identifies accounting issues that we should discuss w/ our accounting team. In addition to the creation of documents and valuable guidance, she also helps us manage the ever growing number of legal documents. Although we use an online signing service, we can send her copies as an additional backup to our own setup. This not only adds redundancy but also makes it more efficient when we have to revisit a previous document.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
