We are the Cadillac Package for Your Business

At Very Law, we believe that providing high-quality legal services starts with a deep commitment to helping people. There is a framed quote in our office that says, “Do not go into this profession unless you want to help people. Economic rewards will follow the rendering of high-quality legal services.” This quote reflects our guiding principle: delivering superior legal representation while genuinely caring about our clients.

We Know the Law, and We Know How to Treat Our Clients

When you choose Very Law, you get more than just knowledgeable legal counsel—you get a team that understands how critical your company’s success is. Whether you are a startup, a mid-sized company, or a large corporation, we offer legal solutions designed specifically for you. We know that no two businesses are the same, and we are committed to treating every case with the attention it deserves.

Legal Services That Work for You

We don’t just react to problems; we plan ahead. We try to anticipate the legal challenges your business may face and recommend risk mitigation strategies, ensuring you are never caught off guard. For example, we may advise implementing robust non-compete and confidentiality agreements or help bolster the existing ones to protect your intellectual property and trade secrets, ensuring that departing employees or business partners cannot misuse valuable information. We may also recommend periodic updates to your contracts and business policies to stay compliant with evolving regulations, reducing the risk of potential legal liabilities and ensuring your business remains protected in a dynamic legal landscape.

Responsive, Communicative, and Results-Driven

At Very Law, we make a point of being highly responsive to your needs. We prioritize clear, consistent communication—we believe that a well-informed client is an empowered client. We are available for consultations, quick check-ins, and strategic discussions whenever you need us. Our goal is to fortify your legal position and vindicate your interests with the full force of law and strategy behind our every move.

Client-Centered Approach: We Start With You

Our philosophy is simple—we start with the client and work backward. This means we take the time to understand your goals, challenges, and long-term vision. Then, we build a personalized legal strategy that fits your specific business needs.

In contrast, some law firms might offer a cookie-cutter solution by providing the same generic contract template to all their clients, regardless of the unique circumstances or requirements of each business. For example, a law firm may use a standard non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for all clients, regardless of whether the business operates in technology, healthcare, or finance. This one-size-fits-all approach can leave critical gaps, such as failing to include specific provisions related to industry regulations or not adequately defining the scope of confidential information, which could expose a client to potential legal vulnerabilities and disputes.

At Very Law, we recognize that every business is distinct, with its own goals, risks, and operational intricacies. Instead of relying on generic templates, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of your business's specific needs and circumstances. For instance, if you’re in the tech sector, we would tailor the NDA to include clauses that protect proprietary algorithms or software code, considering relevant technology laws and industry standards.

We collaborate closely with you to understand your operational practices, target markets, and potential competitive threats. This results in contracts that are not only compliant with legal requirements but also strategically aligned with your business objectives. By creating bespoke legal documents that reflect your unique situation, Very Law ensures that you are fully protected and equipped to deal with any legal challenges that may arise. 

Making Your Business Win

At Very Law, our reputation is built on delivering results for our clients. We know that trust is earned, and we are committed to earning yours through a relentless focus on getting you the best possible outcome. We don’t judge, we don’t get distracted, and we don’t take shortcuts—we simply get the job done with precision and dedication.
