Who is the best startup lawyer in the valley for international founders?

I have helped more than 40 overseas entrepreneurs and companies form  corporations here in the U.S. You might find the following blog posts helpful: http://danashultz.com/blog/2010/06/30/foreign-parent-u-s-sub-legal-firewall/ http://danashultz.com/blog/2009/11/30/foreign-company-alert-obtaining-an-ein-may-be-your-biggest-challenge-in-the-u-s/ http://danashultz.com/blog/2009/12/24/visa-basics-for-foreign-entrepreneurs-coming-to-the-u-s/ http://danashultz.com/blog/2009/09/30/ten-tips-for-success-in-the-us/ This answer is not a substitute for professional legal advice....

My company, https://www.priorilegal.com/, works with many international founders handling incorporation and fundraising in the US, and can help you find a lawyer who has the particular type of experience you need. We are a highly-curated (admissions rate for lawyers = 20%) legal marketplace, working with the very best lawyers in valley at their most competitive rates--a mandatory 25% discount and exclusive flat fee packages. Here's how it works. We have created a pre-vetted network of lawyers with a broad range of experience/practice areas, but all of whom individually have deep knowledge of their area. As a client, you fill out a brief questionnaire and tell us about your particular business and needs; we'll come back with a hand-selected shortlist of lawyers, including profiles and pricing information. You can then schedule complimentary consultations with the lawyers to decide who is the best fit for you. Our platform also makes it easy and transparent to manage and communicate with multiple lawyers--in case you wind up needing additional assistance in the areas of immigration, international taxation or transactions.   Check out our https://www.priorilegal.com/ or get in touch with me directly – we’d be happy to help you find a lawyer who matches your company’s unique needs!

You should come check us out at https://www.upcounsel.com?utm_source=quora&utm_campaign=witbslitvfiff. We worked with dozens of international founders from many different countries.  We actually partnered with AngelHack, an international accelerator here in the Bay Area/Silicon Valley Area because we do such a good job here. We have a pretty incredible community of https://www.upcounsel.com/startup-attorneys-san-francisco-ca?utm_source=quora&utm_campaign=witbslitvfiff. Our Outside General Counsels, who work with some of the top startups in SF and NY, are former partners or senior associates from the BIG firms. You can also tap into other lawyers in our community for things like international transactions and immigration - which tend to come up often. The other thing to keep in mind is that a startup will have business legal issues just like every other business. So on top general corporate legal experience, you will want to make sure your lawyer has experience with basic contracts, employment, and liability. This is really an Outside General Counsel who is going to be a great business partner for you throughout the long term. If I can help personally, let me know. We love helping the startup community.
