Experienced. Informed. Practical.
Innovation and the relentless drive to be leaders characterizes technology and business disrupters. It differentiates the winners from the losers — those who catch the business and technology wave and those who miss it. The attorneys at Wave Law® are seasoned counselors to clients seeking to commercially exploit innovation and “go big" - whether an emerging growth company seeking to be a leader in a nascent industry or an established company looking to capitalize on the next big market opportunity.
At every phase of the business and technology life cycle, we provide our clients with the skills of lawyers at the country’s elite law firms – firms where we honed our skills and held leadership roles. Having also been top in-house lawyers, we understand the need to act quickly and decisively, and to balance business and legal risks.
We have deep industry and business experience, stay informed on the latest legal and industry developments, and take the time to understand our clients’ business and technology objectives. Having seen deals as outside counsel and in-house counsel, and having represented licensors and licensees, acquirors and acquirees, customers and providers of goods and services, we know the key issues to focus on to provide objective and practical advice cost-effectively.
Our Roots
The idea for Wave Law® came about because we saw an opportunity to create a small firm that would cater to passionate technologists, emerging growth companies, investors and multinationals alike, with legal services focused on technology-related transactional matters, corporate matters, and the related practice areas, namely intellectual property, privacy and business law. Having been counsel to licensors and licensees, investors and portfolio companies, acquirers and acquirees — all experience gained at the best law firms in the country — we have the experience, focus and objectivity needed to fashion reasonable compromises that help close deals.
We are flexible in our approach to each client and matter. With experience, we have learned that the best legal counselors are those who understand the specific needs and objectives of the client, and fashion a solution attuned to them. We know our clients deserve better value for their money — we aim to provide the expertise of a seasoned partner at an AmLaw 100 firm with rates that are a fraction of those charged by those top firms.
Our Diversity
When we came together, we recognized that our profession lacks diversity in the law firm ownership/equity partnership ranks. As a 100% woman and minority-owned firm from its very inception, Wave Law® endeavors to encourage and inspire the proliferation of similarly diverse firms within the legal profession.
Wave Law® PLLC is a Minority Business Enterprise certified by the National Minority Supplier Development Council.
Wave Law® Name
At our core, we are driven to help innovators – entrepreneurs and technology-focused companies – succeed. We believe the simple, elegant imagery of the wave perfectly depicts the clients and industries we serve. Creativity, inspiration and innovation, the forces that drive our clients, tend to occur in cycles or waves. Scientifically, waves involve the transport of energy without the transport of matter. Waves and the energy they transport are, to us, the perfect metaphors for what our innovative clients see or aspire to see in their business cycles. They symbolize the energy that propels our clients from the origin of a business or technical idea to development, launch, initial commercialization and then growth. Through all these phases, we serve as trusted business and technology counselors, helping in our clients’ success. And so, Wave Law® was formed!
