CLP is a web-based, distributed firm that believes that everyone benefits when given the ability to exercise self-determination.Our lawyers all have outstanding educational credentials and a minimum of five years of training from major law firms or equivalent experience. We promote their optimal performance by enabling them to achieve balance between their professional and personal lives.

CLP specializes in representing deal-intensive technology companies, both public and private, and investment firms that support these companies. Our goal is to treat our clients as business partners, to combine excellent legal skills with good business judgment and to play an active role in helping our clients succeed. As our clients succeed in building their businesses, we will succeed too.

If We Accept A Client, We Will Do A Great Job. We have limited capacity and can only accept a small portion of the startups or other companies who approach us for representation. But we promise that if you are accepted as a client of CLP, we will use all our efforts, contacts and judgment to make your business a success.

We Are Experts In Representing Deal-Intensive Companies. Our lawyers are all top graduates from top law schools and are recognized throughout Silicon Valley as being among the best at what we do. We are experts in helping young technology companies grow, prosper and avoid legal problems and have worked with dozens of companies from startup through the initial public offering and beyond. We specialize in securities law (venture capital financing, public offerings and underwritings), mergers and acquisitions and complex corporate partnership transactions.

We Are Responsive. We promise to return your phone calls and messages quickly. We will keep you posted on projects and deadlines and will welcome your input on priorities. We will ask you to respond to periodic client satisfaction questionnaires to see how we're doing.

We Have Technical And Business Backgrounds. Although being an engineer or having a business background isn't a requirement for a good business lawyer, it helps. Most of us worked prior to law school and have background in computer science, civil engineering, mathematics, market research, accounting, finance, the life sciences and other fields. The cademic background of the lawyers serving you and their work experiences will be provided to you.

We Choose Our Clients As Carefully As They Choose Us. Our firm isn't for everyone. We represent clients, particularly technology companies and investors, where our brand of total commitment, partnership and expertise will add the greatest value. We typically have an ownership stake in the companies we represent. We request that we be allowed to attend board
meetings. We educate all our employees on who our clients are and what they do. We believe this familiarity with our clients motivates our employees to provide better service. We are making an investment in a relationship that we hope will pay off for client and law firm alike. We get excited about what our clients are trying to do and want to be active participants in helping build your business!

We Are Highly Automated. Visit our firm and you'll see what we mean. Our goal is to be the most highly automated firm in China, and we're well on our way. Labor is very expensive in law firms (salaries for attorneys and staff account for most of the operating expenses), so we think it's only logical to leverage the talent of our best people through extensive automation training and systems. You'll notice the effect of our automation in our high quality work, our rapid turnaround,
and our cost effectiveness.
