Act fast, be innovative, and think globally.

Our vision

New York, summer 2011

An unmet need for EU legal expertise, provided from the U.S.

When Stephan Grynwajc, Managing Partner of the firm, relocated to New York from London in the summer of 2011, he started engaging with the local start-up and SME community.

U.S. to EU

U.S. companies reaching out to the EU

Many U.S.-based companies, particularly smaller companies without a presence in the EU from which to retain and instruct local counsel, couldn’t afford a local EU lawyer at a large international firm, nor did they feel comfortable engaging with foreign lawyers they couldn’t meet in person.

At the same time, many of them, particularly technology companies, SaaS vendors, application developers and providers of e- and m-commerce solutions, wanted to reach customers, suppliers and partners in the EU. There was a need for these legal services to be provided from the U.S., by a smaller firm offering cost-effective and agile services.

EU to U.S.

European entrepreneurs coming to the U.S.

Stephan also met a large number of French and other European entrepreneurs, in Europe and in the U.S. Some had not yet decided to open an office in the U.S., and needed advice on the best way to establish a legal and business presence in the U.S. market.

Others had already moved to the U.S., and needed help localizing and negotiating their contracts with U.S.-based partners and customers under U.S. law.

What became clear

“These entrepreneurs felt more comfortable engaging with a lawyer who spoke their language, understood where they were coming from, and was therefore in a better position to align their legal needs with their business goals.”
