Business law is a unique legal practice, and Avisen Legal is a truly unique law firm. We’re a team of entrepreneurs, averaging over 20 years of experience per lawyer and working across a variety of business law fields. We knew that we could put together a practice that better served businesses and business owners, including small local shops, not-for-profit organizations, tech startups, the energy and ag-tech sectors, independently licensed professionals, and more.
We see the same entrepreneurial spirit that inspires each of Avisen’s lawyers in those who pursue a practice in business law. We know business law is different than litigation and trial work, and this field requires having a real interest in the underlying business goals of your clients. We feel it’s part of our responsibility to help make a legal education attainable to those who share our vision and passion, and we take pride in helping those with a similar goal obtain their education.
