Rimon has over 160 attorneys located in key markets across the United States and abroad who advise start-ups, emerging and growth companies, venture capital and private equity funds, and more with all aspects of formation, financings at various stages, investments, acquisitions, public offerings, secondary transactions, mergers, joint ventures, contracts, intellectual property protection, patent prosecution, and corporate governance.

As a firm that is itself disrupting the legal industry, we are particularly well-suited to supporting dynamic, forward-thinking entrepreneurs and companies and the investors that fund them.

We’re Invested in You

With offices in major technology hubs and a team of partners that includes former entrepreneurs and investors, Rimon’s attorneys become active members of the start-ups and investment management firms we represent. Beyond solely providing legal advice, our attorneys are also often able to leverage their deep roots in the entrepreneurial and investment management communities to help early-stage companies and interested investors connect.  Using our global platform, we often connect our clients to funding sources or other synergistic relationships.

Representing Emerging Companies Throughout Their Life Cycles

We help entrepreneurs throughout the full life cycles of their companies. Our attorneys have helped thousands of early-stage companies to identify the best business strategies and legal models to structure their companies and incentive plans, to procure financing and negotiate valuations, to protect their intellectual property, manage their relationships with employees and service providers, and eventually to navigate exit through sale, merger, or IPO.

We are sensitive to the often-limited budgets of emerging companies, and our streamlined business model allows us to offer our clients value-driven fee structures that are manageable and predictable.  Furthermore, our firm is comprised of experienced partners drawn from elite law firms, the private sector, and academia, with few associates. This means that our start-up clients benefit not only from the greater value we offer but also from the expertise of seasoned counsel that nascent enterprises require.
