Clients love that we’re a full-service law firm in New York with deep cross-practice support

That means when you work with our corporate team, you’re also tapping into deep resources in IP, employment, AI and technology law, M&A, litigation strategy, and data privacy. This cross-functional power makes us more strategic than niche boutique firms, and far more personalized than the generic experience you’ll find in legal marketplaces, and more nimble and connected within the firm than Big Law.

Visionary Leaders Worldwide Prefer Corporate Lawyers in New York

Let’s be real, your legal needs don’t always fit into neat, prepackaged boxes. Sometimes, you need a clean contract tomorrow. Sometimes, you’re structuring a cross-border acquisition. And sometimes, you just need a sharp legal brain in your corner who already gets your business without the backstory.

That’s us.

Some law firms are eager to bring in any and all clients, regardless of who they are and what they’re all about. We’re not one of those firms. Gouchev Law is dedicated to working with clients who are innovators, creators, and movers, shakers, industry leaders.

Who We Work With

What you get: white-glove service, elite lawyers from AM Law 50 firms and previously in senior in-house roles at Fortune 500 companies. All without the bloat, bureaucracy, or massive bills. Just smart legal solutions, delivered fast, and tailored to your company’s DNA.

If you’re building something bold, you’re our kind of client.

We work with:

• General Counsel and In-house legal teams who need fast, senior-level support from former in-house and BigLaw attorneys, without increasing internal headcount. Who need support managing complex deals, global operations, and handing high-volume commercial contracts.
• C-Suite Leadership scaling rapidly, needing real-time legal advice for navigating contracts, key hires, investor relations, and compliance. C-suite leaders need legal partners who are sharp, responsive, and fluent in both their industry and plain English, delivering clear, strategic advice without the unnecessary billing.
• Founders looking for legal partners who understand the entrepreneurial journey, help you with investment capital, and scaling across the U.S. and internationally. Legal counsel that anticipates risks, and tailors their style to your vision, helping you manage partners, investors, employees, as well as negotiate vendor and client contracts.

What Is Corporate Law? (And Why It Matters)

Corporate law is the backbone of how your business forms, grows, protects itself, and eventually exits or expands. In other words, corporate law isn’t just about avoiding risk. It’s about creating opportunity. It’s the legal foundation for forming, scaling, operating, and protecting businesses in a world where one wrong move could cost millions and one strategic move can make you millions.

Corporate law covers:

• Entity formation and structuring
• Contract creation, review and negotiation
• Investment capital financing
• Tech-forward legal strategy for digital businesses
• Corporate governance and compliance
• Data Privacy, Tech and AI regulation
• Mergers, acquisitions, and strategic exits
• Risk assessment and litigation strategy
• Employment and Equity Compensation Structures
• Intellectual property protection

Strategic Outside Counsel for In-House Legal Teams and Corporate Departments

Most in-house teams find that capacity is a constant battle. And when mission-critical deals, compliance changes, or contract demands hit, you need trusted outside counsel that gets the pressure you’re under, and integrates seamlessly into your workflow.

No babysitting. No handholding. No cookie-cutter solutions. Just sharp legal minds who understand how you work, and work that way, too.

Why Our Corporate Law Attorneys in New York Stand Out

We’re not your father’s law firm. We’re legal disruptors and business whisperers who believe that the best corporate lawyer does more than protect, they empower.

Our clients love us because:

• We embed in your team like an extension of your business or in-house legal department.
• We translate law into action, so your business teams don’t stall out in red tape.
• We provide white-glove legal service, without adding to headcount or overhead.
• We craft business-smart strategies, not just legal-safe ones.
• And yes, we’re actually fun to work with.

We’re your sounding board for ideas, your risk mitigation engine, and your fiercest ally in negotiations.

FAQ: Corporate Law Attorneys in New York

What’s the difference between a corporate lawyer and a business lawyer?

Corporate lawyers focus on complex legal needs specific to corporations, like mergers and acquisitions (M&A), capital structuring or corporate restructuring (think holding company with subsidiaries), or governance. A business lawyer may handle broader legal concerns but might not dive as deep into complex corporate frameworks.

Do you support in-house legal departments or small companies and startups?

Both. Many of our clients are corporate legal teams at mid-sized to enterprise-level companies that rely on us as fractional general counsel or outside commercial counsel. 

Do corporate law attorneys offer tech industry expertise?

We do. Many of our clients are in SaaS, FinTech, AI, health tech, and beyond. We stay ahead of tech trends and regulatory frameworks so you don’t have to.

Will Gouchev Law integrate with our team and processes?

Yes, and that’s exactly what we’re built for. We embed into your systems, adapt to your pace, and coordinate with internal and external stakeholders just like your own team would.

Do I need a corporate lawyer if I have an in-house legal team?

Yes. Many of our clients are GCs and senior in-house counsel who tap us for commercial contract overflow, M&A support, or niche legal expertise.

Can corporate law attorneys handle high-volume commercial contracts?

That’s exactly what Gouchev Law does. Whether you need help clearing a backlog or setting up scalable systems for contracting, our team delivers high-efficiency, business-aligned contract support.

Do your corporate law attorneys go to court?

Our corporate law practice is focused on transactional work: contracts, compliance, and strategy. But if litigation arises, our firm has top-tier commercial litigators for dispute resolution and litigation.

Do you have a corporate lawyer near me?

Our office is located in Midtown Manhattan at 45 Rockefeller Plaza, on the 20th Floor. While we are at the heart of New York, we serve clients globally, with remote collaboration baked into how we work.

Gouchev Law is the partner you’ve been looking for.
