Emerging Businesses and Information Technology
The State of Michigan is swiftly becoming the home to some of the most significant
and dynamic technology companies in the country. The era of converging technologies
has created exciting business opportunities for companies in this area of mass media,
computer, and telecommunications industries, as well as for consumer product and
financial services companies that can take advantage of the new interactive technologies.
Whether your company is starting out based upon a new business model or one designed
to take advantage of the possibilities of converging technologies, The Marsalese
Law Group can manage and handle all your legal needs.
The Marsalese Law Group sits at the center of most every large and obscurely small
tech decision of its clients, whether it involves intellec¬tual property, antitrust,
mergers and acquisitions, reg¬ulatory compliance, policy-making and governance,
supplier RFPs and contracts, privacy, data protection, or labor. The Marsalese Law
Group understands IT and not just the legalese, but the negotiation of outsourcing
and other service contracts, striking (legitimate) licensing agreements and joint
ventures, shoring up bad IT organizational practices, managing risk, protecting
secrets and talent.
Emerging businesses often have legal needs that even the most sophisticated entrepreneurs
can’t anticipate. A law firm that understands your needs - legal, business and financial
- from day one is critical. The Marsalese Law Group offers top-level service across
the spectrum of your legal needs, and our relationship can grow with your business.

incentive arrangements
