Orlando is leading the charge as a global tech leader
The technology industry in Florida is stronger than it ever has been. Strategic Solutions Legal is heavily involved with the tech industry and is available to discuss the needs of your technology company. We regularly deal with the issues that keep technology entrepreneurs up at night: company formation, licensing intellectual property, developer/vendor relationships, funding sources, and a host of other issues. We’re happy to meet virtually if you’re outside of the Orlando area. (After all, we’re a technology law firm and understand what it’s like to do business in a virtual world.)

Questions
can be as
unique as ideas
Although the inventions tech companies create are unique, the legal questions and issues each company has are not unique. We’re often asked the same series of questions, depending on where the business is in its development. Technology entrepreneurs have enough tasks to handle in launching new products, so leave the legal mumbo jumbo to us.
If you’re asking yourself one of these questions, call us to discuss your options.
Many technology companies ask the following questions during various stages of their business:
- How can I protect my company’s intellectual property?
- How do I get funding for my business?
- Is crowdfunding right for my business?
- What type of business model is best for my company?
- Who can help me with licensing agreements?
- Should I file for a patent?
- When should I trademark my logo and other distinguishing characteristics of my business?
- Do I need to file anything to protect my trade secrets?
- Should I form a business if I’m still developing my product?
- We’re hiring our first employee; what do we do?
- How can I mitigate risks to my business before crowdsourcing?
- Should my business have a business plan?
