Emerging Businesses

Growing with you

Our emerging companies team doesn’t just protect your interests, we expand it with ideas and connections that come from years of experience and a shared entrepreneurial mindset. Phelps works with high-growth technology, clean energy, food and beverage, AgTech and other emerging businesses through formation, funding, exit and everything in-between. Through all phases, you will have the dedicated support of a relationship partner who provides day-to-day counsel, attends board meetings at your request and leverages their network to your benefit. As your company scales, so can your Phelps team. We have over 70 business lawyers across the country and hundreds more in other service areas, so your Phelps team can scale up and down as needed in a cost-efficient manner.

Your dedicated Phelps relationship partner will walk you through your options and guide you on how to position your company to be successful in a fundraising campaign. We have worked with several of the most active investors in our footprint, including angel investors, venture capital and private equity firms, corporate investors, SBA and traditional lenders. Our lawyers will give you a clear picture of your options.
