Beacon Law Advisors are lawyers with actual operating experience. BLA is a boutique corporate, securities, and technology firm with a Seattle and Silicon Valley-based practice. All BLA lawyers are seasoned corporate, transactional, and technology attorneys who also have significant operating, in-house and entrepreneurial experience. Founded in 2003 on the premise that operating experience and having a business operator’s perspective makes a qualitative difference in counseling growing businesses, we have assembled a team of highly proficient business lawyers, who combine the legal skill set of experienced “big firms” with the grounding that comes from actually having run a business. We have served as chief operating officers, chief financial officers, general and senior counsels in both private and public companies, have founded and held operating roles within start-ups, and have also gained valuable practice experience within large national firms. We have raised VC and angel money for our own companies. We have sold our own companies. We get it. We understand you because we have been – and still are – you.
