"When attorneys left competing law firms
to establish their own technology-based businesses, many hired
Gunster Yoakley to guide them through the complexities of Technology
Law. Why did they hire Gunster Yoakley and not attorneys at their
old firms? When their own money was at stake, they wanted the best
legal representation, and for them that meant Gunster Yoakley."

Representative Matters

economic development program, they turned to Gunster Yoakley to negotiate
and prepare formation documents, contact with fund managers and coordinate
all related legal matters.
- Several of South Florida's most experienced and influential entrepreneurs
starting a technology accelerator retained Gunster Yoakley to review
formation documents, prepare a stock option plan and draft and negotiate
all agreements with their portfolio companies. Based on the Firm's
responsiveness and effectiveness, Gunster Yoakley was subsequently
hired to provide all legal advice to the accelerator's portfolio companies.
