All-Star Startup Attorney

Mr. Blackledge's 30 years of rich experience with technology startups, emerging businesses and capital investment groups combined with his blossoming legal practice make him an ideal attorney for entrepreneurs. His guidance has helped me clear obstacles on the path to success with my startup, Stellar... Research. Mr. Blackledge has helped me sharpen numerous legal agreements. In addition, he is well known and well connected in the startup ecosystem; the introductions he has provided have invaluably accelerated the growth of my company.
