Firm Profile

ESG Law provides legal representation to companies of all sizes operating across many industries, including esports, video games, content creation, cannabis, sports, User Generated Content (UGC), and other emerging industries. ESG is purpose-built to be our clients' first phone call when any legal need arises. We act as outside general counsel for many of our clients, covering a wide range of legal needs, including employment, corporate (M&A, financing, and governance), privacy/data, commercial transactions, intellectual property, immigration, pre-litigation dispute resolution, and much more.

We're entrepreneurs, just like our clients. Applying the law to new industries can be challenging, but it's an exercise we find rewarding–this is the common thread throughout our business, shaping everything from our hiring to the industries we serve. We know what it's like to build the plane while it's in the air, and we relish the opportunity to help our clients do the same.

Why ESG?

We're counsel, not just lawyers. We act as problem solvers who can provide a legal overlay to our clients’ decision-making processes. We don't just provide formalistic answers to client questions (the law says do or don't do this); we help our clients contextualize the risk surrounding different options and brainstorm creative solutions to minimize or eliminate that risk.

We know your business. We strive to be experts in our clients’ businesses and the industries in which they operate. Neither the law nor our clients’ businesses operate in a vacuum. The deeper we understand the underlying business, the better legal advice we can provide. This is why we tend to focus on certain industries while providing expansive legal services.

We're fast. The legal industry doesn’t have to move slowly like it often does. The law is complicated, and some projects take time. But with proper staffing and the right mentality, we turn typical projects around quickly and enable our clients to move faster without worrying about legal stymying progress.

We embrace alternative billing structures. Although we have hourly rates like all lawyers and use them when appropriate for client needs, we generate most of our revenues from project and monthly fixed fees. We prefer to charge based on value added, not the time it takes us to do something. This enables us to build deeper, more mutually prosperous relationships with our clients.

We’re connected. We move in the circles you do. We can open doors, make intros, and provide valuable insight into your plans. We are woven into the fabric of the ecosystems in which our clients operate and deeply invested in their future growth. We are not simple service providers; we are engaged citizens of these communities.

We meet you where you are. Whether on Discord, Slack, email, or other platforms, we communicate where our clients do so that we can become more proactive stakeholders in their business.
