When looking for an attorney:
-Look at online testimonials and reviews. Also, ask family and friends for recommendations about who they’ve used in the past.

-Consider contacting your local bar association. Bar associations often make referrals according to specific areas of law, helping you find a lawyer with the right experience and practice concentration.

-Meet with more than one lawyer before choosing who to hire. Find out ahead of time if there is a charge for a consultation.

We often see early-stage companies entering into contracts that contain ambiguous or vague intellectual property (“IP”) licensing or ownership language. As an early-stage tech or life sciences company, it is likely that the majority of your value is in your IP and nothing worries an investor more than a suggestion that you may have inadvertently given away ownership of IP where only a non-exclusive licence was intended. It is, therefore, essential to get legal input where you are licensing or transferring ownership of your IP.

Breach of contract: Contracts must be signed when real estate is sold or when construction takes place. If either party to the agreement fails to perform according to the terms of the contract, this can result in real estate litigation. If a party is able to prove a breach of contract occurred, that party can recover compensation for actual damages caused by the failure to fulfill contract terms.
