Building a business is like building a house. If the foundation is weak, everything eventually crumbles. That's how Steven Weigler, founder and managing attorney of EmergeCounsel, and a 5-year trademark Super Lawyer, describes the stakes facing today's entrepreneurs. And he's not just speaking as a lawyer. Before starting his legal firm, Weigler spent more than a decade building his own predictive analytics startup from scratch and navigating it through the ups and downs of growth and eventual sale.
"That journey changed how I think about legal counsel," Weigler says. "Most law firms are transactional. We're strategic. We're here to help our clients build something that's sellable from day one, even if they never want to sell it."
