Understanding Your Business
Your business is unique. To represent you successfully, I take the time to fully understand your business, its history, operations, and goals, as well as the industry in which you operate. Knowing your business enables me to offer practical counsel, and provide more effective solutions designed to meet your specific objectives. Ultimately, the measure of my success is your success.
At every stage of the process, I also take the time to thoroughly explain to you in everyday language the legal issues and risks presented in each transaction, so that you understand your options and can make truly informed decisions.
Understanding your business, as well as your products, services, customers, and competition, allows me to develop an individualized legal strategy designed to best protect your interests and meet your goals, so that you are able to take advantage of your opportunities.
Experience
Experience drives results. For over 25 years, both at a large firm and in-house, I have provided outstanding legal representation to clients in a wide range of sophisticated technology, commercial, and real estate matters.
I regularly represent individuals, start-ups, and companies of all sizes in a broad spectrum of industries, including the technology, manufacturing, retail, media and broadcasting, financial, oil and gas, hospitality, and telecommunications industries.
In addition, I have extensive experience representing both the purchasers and providers of goods and services in a broad range of commercial transactions. Having represented clients on both sides of the table, I understand the interests, risks and goals that each side has in a transaction, which allows me to efficiently and successfully handle the most complex commercial matters.
This depth of experience, together with a thorough understanding of your business, enables me to provide effective solutions, tailored to your needs, in a cost-effective manner.
Value
Whalen Law was established to provide high quality legal services at reasonable rates.
You need experienced counsel to best protect your interests, but the hourly rates charged by many large firms put quality legal services out of reach for many small and medium sized companies, as well as for larger companies whose legal departments are being asked to do more with less.
As a former General Counsel, I understand the challenges faced by in house legal departments looking for value from outside legal counsel, and appreciate that legal fees are a serious concern.
At Whalen Law, I am dedicated to providing you value – big firm expertise at significantly lower rates than you would likely pay at a big firm for an attorney with comparable experience.
