Companies that provide products and services to assist the world's poor are increasingly seeking social venture capital as a source of funding for their work. Experienced corporate counsel is required to help these companies work through the variety of critical legal issues that arise in such transactions, such as corporate structuring, tax, and intellectual property—often in an international context. The Office of Julie R. Fenster has deep experience in these areas and can draw upon our relationships with other experienced practitioners (such as in the international tax field), as needed.
At the same time, these pioneering companies are looking for legal counsel sensitive to their mission and passion to benefit those at the bottom of the economic pyramid. The Office of Julie R. Fenster has demonstrated its ability to maintain that balance between providing excellence in legal counsel while remaining attentive to the ultimate goals of the organization's work.
