In order to better serve and foster the growth of those emerging businesses which are experiencing rapid growth, Bricker & Eckler perceived the need for a new type of partnering relationship. The firm formed a multidisciplinary team of attorneys to support clients through a myriad of services. As a result, the firm not only assists companies with organizational structure, financing and capital-raising efforts, but also provides advice on other matters, such as tax, succession planning, employment, intellectual property, licensing, networking, dispute resolution, and real estate issues. The relationship between attorney and entrepreneur is guided primarily by the client's expectations; the client helps frame the relationship and takes an active role in the process of partnering for growth.

We take a vested interest in our emerging business clients, recognizing their potential and helping them achieve as much success as they can. As their businesses grow, clients can rely upon Bricker & Eckler not only for sound legal advice, but also for guidance on business issues. As a concerned partner for growth, Bricker & Eckler is committed to finding creative ways to position emerging businesses for continued success. Our attorneys can introduce clients not only to providers of other professional services, including accountants and business consultants, but also to providers of funds, such as banks and venture capitalists.

Emerging businesses may be faced with the same legal and business concerns as larger enterprises, yet will often be operating within a small-business budget. To strengthen this new type of partnering relationship, the firm can provide fair value through a flexible approach to the cost of services it provides.

By taking an interdisciplinary approach to the services emerging businesses require, Bricker & Eckler provides sound legal and business advice to entrepreneurs on a cost-effective, proactive basis. As a result, its attorneys offer creative, value-added solutions to business concerns, making them innovative partners in growth for emerging businesses.
