Welcome to Talis

Talis is an innovative law and strategy firm specializing in the startup community. Born out of the idea that sound legal advice and business strategy are inseparable, we have a unique approach in how we deliver legal services.

​

We serve our clients primarily as outside general counsel, advising on corporate and governance matters, commercial and technology transactions, venture financing, and other critical issues companies face as they grow. But unlike a traditional law firm, we approach each engagement from the perspective of attorneys and entrepreneurs, providing legal guidance with a specific focus on strategy and growth.

Mission

Our mission is to empower our clients to become successful faster by helping them:

• make smarter decisions beginning from the company's launch

• balance risk with opportunity to effectively scale

• accelerate the path to growth and exit

Launch

Create a foundation for the business that balances founder interests, protects valuable assets, incentivizes performance, and remains attractive to investors.

Scale

Develop a viable financial model and fundraising plan. Structure relationships with service providers, strategic partners, customers, and investors to support growth.

Exit

Pursue growth and exit opportunities while maintaining corporate governance, legal compliance, and best practices.
