I am a lawyer for the Business Owner, Founder or CEO.
Industries: Start up and emerging businesses in software, retail, consulting services and technology.
I focus on:
- negotiating the agreements you need to make money or to distribute your products;
- negotiate shareholder agreements with investors, key employees;
- all types of funding - equity and debt including use of convertible notes;
- avoiding litigation; and
- corporate governance.
Value add: Always available and do not bill for everything. I want to understand your business plan and your assumptions. I always look at contingency planning and risk to your reward.

Gregory Alan Rutchik's Lawyer Endorsements
"Although new to Avvo, the answers ported by Mr. Rutchik are accurate, analytic, and customized to the needs of the Avvo asker. These pragmatic qualities are exactly what a client would look for when hiring an attorney."
"I have consulted Gregory on issues ranging from trademark registration and intellectual property protection to general business litigation and corporate strategy. Gregory is experienced in a variety of important practice areas, and is well connected in the professional community. I have also referred two clients to Gregory. Both found him to be refreshingly candid and very smart. Highly recommended!"
"Gregory is my go-to attorney whenever issues regarding business transactions and potential litigation arise in my clients' family law matters. He has a great "bedside manner" with my clients, and helps them understand the risks and benefits of litigation -- which usually leads them to take his advice regarding potential settlement strategies. I have also sent him several clients who needed help negotiating and setting up limited liability partnerships. He is an 'all star' attorney."
"Greg is a knowledgeable and experienced attorney. Highly recommended."
