I typically start thinking about my last day representing entrepreneurial clients on the first day I am retained. Although this sounds a bit cynical, bear with me, as some of this is due to the nature of my practice.

I am often retained to represent companies who are seeking investors to help fund their company’s launch, growth or expansion. I also represent investors in the same type of activities (although not at the same time!). While some might think that the objective is to build a company that will last for decades, from both the founders’ or investors’ point of view, most simply want to achieve a faster return on their investment. This trend may be more applicable to technology or private equity backed companies, as opposed to service businesses or family-owned businesses, which may think longer term, but as I have learned, it’s better to be prepared.
