WELCOME TO THE LAW OFFICE OF SHAWNA M. BATES

Experience. Respect. Results.

Virtual general counsel and business strategy. My goal is to help you avoid legal pitfalls and secure your business. Your success is my priority.

GENERAL COUNSEL SERVICES & LEGAL BUSINESS STRATEGY

No matter the size, every business should consult legal counsel. Your success depends on it.

STARTUPS & SMALL BUSINESS

The operational needs of starting a new business are daunting. You don't have time to educate yourself on all of the legal issues that may affect your business, and you can't carry the expense of hiring expensive outside counsel that isn't personally vested in your business. You don't have to. I can help.

GROWTH STAGE

Your business is changing. You are rapidly developing relationships with outside partners and service vendors. You need legal counsel, but not full-time. Outside attorneys are either too specialized or too expensive to make you a priority. You need someone you can trust to be personally vested in your success. I can help.

LARGER ENTERPRISES

Your team may be overwhelmed due to absence or increased activity; you need a competent, experienced attorney to stand in the gap until things return to normal. I can help.

SERVICE SOLUTIONS

I partner with my clients to offer business-integrated, pro-active legal counsel on an affordable subscription basis. Plans are flexible and tailored to meet the needs of your unique business. My goal is to help you achieve success.
