[Fredslist] I need a lawya!

[Kelly Welles]

If you don't find your attorney in the network (I'm sure that you will), please feel free to email me. I know a securities/corporate attorney with a VC entrepreneurial focus and a tight relationship with a first rate IP attorney and former Gothamite. And I know another whom Gothamites swear by, also a non-member.
 
Good luck!

Hi Fellow Magicians,
 
I need a lawya!
 
I am seeking legal advice for a new start-up venture in the green space that I and a few other Gotham members are working on. We are considering setting up a B Corporation. Who do you know with experience or knowledge with that entity structure? I would like to stay within Gotham if possible. We have some fantastic attorneys in the family. If you are interested in what a B Corporation is, go to: http://www.bcorporation.net/
 
Option two, I have heard these firms have experience in this work: Linklaters LLP, and Jones Day. Both have offices in NY. Do we have any connections there?
 
Quoted from the site......
"B Corporations are a new kind of company which uses the power of business to
solve social and environmental problems.
 
B Corporations:
 
    * 1) Meet comprehensive and transparent social and environmental performance standards;
    * 2) Legally expand the responsibilities of the corporation to include stakeholder interests;
    * 3) Build collective voice through the power of the unifying B Corporation brand."

Regards and thanks all,
