Find a business-law attorney who fits your company.

FoundryCounsel helps business owners get matched with licensed attorneys who handle business-law matters in the United States. The service is free for owners to use.

FoundryCounsel is not a law firm, not an attorney, and does not give legal advice. The information on this site is general education only and does not create an attorney-client relationship. If you need advice for your specific situation, the right next step is to speak with a licensed attorney.

If you want to learn how the process works before reaching out, see how it works or get matched.

You share basic contact details and a short description of what you need help with. For privacy, do not send sensitive information through a form, such as your Social Security number (SSN), Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), Employer Identification Number (EIN), immigration status, bank account numbers, or confidential business secrets.

If your request is a fit, FoundryCounsel helps connect you with participating attorneys. Owners do not pay FoundryCounsel for matching. Participating attorneys pay a flat marketing fee to be included.

That means you can compare your options and decide whether you want to move forward with any attorney. You can start here: get matched.

Business-law questions come up at many stages, from starting a company to signing contracts and staying compliant. FoundryCounsel may help owners connect with attorneys for matters such as:

• Business entity formation — choosing and forming a legal structure such as an LLC (limited liability company, a business structure that can separate personal and business liability) or a corporation. Learn more at business entity formation and LLC vs corporation.
• Contracts and agreements — reviewing or drafting documents such as an NDA (non-disclosure agreement, a contract to protect confidential information) or an MSA (master services agreement, a contract that sets the main terms for ongoing services). See contracts and agreements.
• Partnership and founder agreements — setting clear rules between co-owners about roles, ownership, decision-making, and what happens if someone leaves. See partnership and founder agreements.
• Commercial leases and real estate — reviewing lease terms before you commit to a store, office, warehouse, or other business space. See commercial leases and real estate.
• Business compliance and licensing — understanding filings, permits, licenses, and ongoing rules that may apply to your company. See business compliance and licensing.

If you are not sure what kind of help you need, that is common. A short summary is usually enough to begin the matching process.

Not every attorney is the right fit for every business. It is reasonable to ask about experience with your type of company, your state, your industry, timing, communication style, and fees.

Be cautious of anyone who promises a guaranteed outcome, filing approval, or registration. Business-law matters often depend on state rules, the facts of your situation, and agency review. For decisions about filings and requirements, check official sources such as your state's Secretary of State, [IRS.gov](https://www.irs.gov), [USPTO.gov](https://www.uspto.gov), and a licensed attorney.
