Simeon L. Vance

My legal career has included roles as a business and technology attorney with prominent law firms in Utah, Nevada, and Hawaii, as chief general counsel to a software and pharma startup, and as an adjunct faculty teaching entrepreneurship to business, law, and engineering students. And along the way I earned a Master of Laws in Entrepreneurship from Duke Law.

I focus on business and technology law; matters such as drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts, forming new businesses (LLC, corporation, partnership, joint venture), buying or selling a business (mergers & acquisitions), funding new businesses (crowdfunding, seed, angel, or venture capital investment), settling disputes over contracts or disputes between business partners, private stock transactions (such as issuing or transferring stock), equity compensation (like stock options) and profit sharing plans, and properly closing a business.

Prior to law school I earned a degree in Information Systems and was a "coder" (software progammer); first with a telecom company, and later a venture-capital-backed software startup.

Much of the info above is the when, where, who and what. If you're more interested in "how" my appraoch to practicing law is refreshingly different from many attorneys, please give me a call and I would be happy to chat.
