BUCHANAN LABS

Buchanan Labs is an innovative offering of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney that is dedicated to delivering full-service and cost-effective legal solutions to emerging and early-stage companies.

Who We Are

A dedicated group of seasoned legal professionals who apply their legal talent and experience as a team to provide efficient solutions to those legal and business issues most often experienced by new companies including areas such as corporate structuring, financing, securities, commercialization of technology, compensation and employment issues, IP protection and strategy, FDA and regulatory considerations, immigration and compliance with labor and employment regulations.

What We Do

Buchanan Labs partners with emerging and early stage companies as outside general counsel to provide hands-on, proactive, practical advice on legal and business issues such companies face. The platform uses a suite of solutions designed to best position companies to avoid costly problems as they develop and grow. We leverage our strong relationships with various financing and capital sources, as well as other business service providers, to strengthen our clients’ networks and enable them to focus on growing the company.

Buchanan Labs delivers its services in a cost-effective way through a unique subscription model. Our clients pay a modest, pre-determined, fixed fee over a defined period in return for a fixed number of hours of legal consultation tailored to each client’s unique needs.

We understand the cash flow limitations of new companies, and our model allows us to deliver top-tier legal advice and guidance at an attractive price. At Buchanan Labs, we are here to position our clients for longterm success.

Where to Find Out More

Buchanan Labs provides continued content on its startup blog, which serves as a resource for emerging and early-stage companies to learn more about all phases of company creation and completion, including where to start, how to finance, how to govern, how to protect, and how to exit.
