Joshua Ridless’s Summary
Joshua A. Ridless

RELATIONSHIP LAWYERING. My practice is built on the principles of “relationship lawyering” - providing cost-effective counsel to emerging growth companies while eliminating the perceived and actual abuses associated with legal services. Relationship lawyering means becoming an asset to your business, not an expense. As a relationship lawyer, I approach each client’s business with a sense of urgency, becoming involved in all legal issues from the most mundane regulatory matters to the most critical financial transactions.
SCOPE OF WORK. My practice is based on core areas of expertise: corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, securities law, intellectual property transactions and other related issues.
I have built a roster of clients spanning a broad range of industries such as software, e-commerce, bio-tech, web development, entertainment, consulting/professional services, transportation, hospitality, tourism, and retail.
My experience with publicly- and privately-held companies includes all aspects of SEC filings and proxy statements, entity formation, private placement memoranda and licensing agreements.
CREATING A PARTNERSHIP. Every day emerging businesses are confronted with obstacles and impediments to growth. Legal counsel should not be one of these. By building my practice on the principles of relationship lawyering, I can provide legal services at a fair cost, while building a relationship that evolves with your changing needs.
