From Startup to B Corp - JT Abate can help your team!!
Mr. Abate was very attentive to my legal inquiry's and an active listener. Not only did Jeffrey allow me to explain what my plan was, he provided some insightful food for thought for evolving my current sole proprietorship into a Benefit "B" Corp. He has maintained a professional rapport since the initial connection with excellent communication and accessibility, and is very much up to date with today's ever changing business laws.
One of the key fundamentals of a successful start up, regardless of industry, is having a solid team in place to help build the necessary foundation. Mr. Abate understands this core value 100%, and will not stray you from that focus.
Jeff is amazing. He is great at what he does. He promptly answered all of my questions, and provided exemplary legal services for the start of my new small business. I would recommend Jeff to any business owner.
Jeff received his Juris Doctor degree from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in 2006 (San Diego, CA) and B.A. in Political Science from American University in 2003 (Washington, DC). While at AU, Jeff was Vice President of the Class of ’03, head of the 2003 Gift Committee (over $50,000 raised for charity), interned on Capitol Hill, and is a member, and prior elected officer, of the Sigma Chi Fraternity.
Jeff is a longtime San Diego resident, a member of the TJSL Center for Solo Practitioners, the TJSL and AU Alumni Associations, the Lawyer’s Club of San Diego, and the National Eagle Scout Association. Jeff has volunteered at legal workshops all over San Diego County to provide free legal consultations to business owners. Jeff was recently honored as a 2014 recipient of the National Family Justice Center Alliance Founder’s Award for his commitment to provide legal assistance to San Diego’s under-served residents and businesses.
