Modern business lawyers have shifted from focusing on contract preparation to providing strategic guidance, helping companies navigate complex legal landscapes.Law firms are increasingly investing in startups, providing not just legal services but acting as strategic advisors and community builders, offering expertise in areas like venture capital, mergers, acquisitions and intellectual property.Some cities, like New York, Philadelphia and Washington DC, have a higher concentration of experienced startup lawyers, which plays a significant role in their tech ecosystems.In 1735, just one year after launching his newspaper, New York City printer and journalist John Peter Zenger was put on trial for publishing essays critical of the colonial governor. His lead attorney was Andrew Hamilton, who traveled in from Philadelphia.Hamilton’s improbable victory set a foundational precedent: truth is a defense against libel.Hamilton was the canonical example of what became “the Philadelphia lawyer,” a long treasured term for an especially cunning attorney. Perhaps it’s fitting the phrase got its start backing what was essentially a startup.If most attorney jokes hinge on the punchline that they’re expensive, the startup lawyer could be seen as a strange speciality. Most startups fail, and a good many new businesses don’t grow much.But in an era of accelerating returns, those few startups that last tend to grow very big.Hence many big law firms pay surprising attention to quite small companies. Good thing, because many startup ecosystems rely on service providers — for organizing, insight and sponsorship dollars. It’s wise for anyone concerned with startup clusters to consider where the startup lawyers are.From service provider to advisor, an evolving role“Twenty or thirty years ago, lawyers were primarily sought out for contracts — the actual piece of paper needed to close a deal,” said Kim Klayman
Privacy and Data Security attorney Hilary Lane joins Ballard Spahr.
WASHINGTON, May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Knowing the essentials of copyright and libel laws is critical for newsroom journalists and independent freelancers — especially in an increasingly litigious media environment.Media lawyers report a significant uptick in defamation lawsuits brought against journalists by plaintiffs who don't want to be called on their false narratives or want to punish reporters for their work. Some of these lawsuits are getting farther in the court system than they used to, costing journalists and news organizations precious time and money.Copyright violations are a risk for media professionals, too. In an era of artificial intelligence and social media, journalists need to be aware of copyright and fair use law when working with digital content, especially when it is easy to cut, paste, and distribute content online.Register now for a free, 75-minute webinar on Friday, June 7, that begins at 11:30 a.m. ET. Attorney Chad Bowman of Ballard Spahr will outline copyright and libel law essentials for today's media environment and take questions to help journalists and freelancers understand their rights and how to follow the law.Participants will learn:Key legal pitfalls and strategies for journalists when it comes to libel and copyright lawWhen to ask questions of an editor while news gathering or using others' content (i.e. when using quotes, photos, published work, and other media in your stories)What to do if you are threatened with a defamation suitWhat independent journalists need to know to protect themselves without the resources of a newsroomThis webinar will not be recorded or distributed to attendees
