To all, my question is what is the best way to enter that area of practice if I am a litigator? Is it by being a corporate attorney? What are some of your day to day tasks ? What matters/issues do you encounter ? I’m interested in helping start ups raise capital, enter and expand into different markets, etc.

Oh, ty for the update!

My company contracts a web developer, we have a set amount of hours for the quarter and pay over if more work is needed.
He never gets anything done. Doesn’t answer emails half the time. The one thing he’s done was take out a blurb that threatened our eligibility for patent renewal.
We have another company taking over in January, but I still have some pretty important dev needs until then and I can’t get him to do a thing. I truly try to give him all he needs.
