Business Counsel for Building Value. Trial Counsel for Protecting It.

Pacini Law is built for growth-oriented companies, from founder-led and emerging businesses to established private and public companies pursuing their next stage of growth, including companies in technology, life sciences, fintech, healthcare, and other complex or regulated industries. Clients work directly with senior lawyers, from the decisions that build the company through the disputes that put its value at risk.

Build Value. Protect Value. Recover Value.

Business Counsel

Pacini Law helps companies make the legal decisions that shape enterprise value: forming, financing, contracting, hiring, insuring, governing, and managing risk as the business grows. We serve as ongoing outside business counsel or step in for a defined transaction, agreement, claim, or need.

Trial Counsel

When agreements fracture, relationships break down, or enterprise value is threatened, Pacini Law represents companies, founders, executives, and investors through litigation, arbitration, and trial. We set the direction early, align it to the business outcome, and execute with discipline.

Growth-Company Legal Problems Rarely Stay in One Lane.

Transactions, governance, financing, employment, insurance, commercial relationships, and disputes often shape the same business reality. Pacini Law helps clients see the connections early and act with the full company in view.

Business Counsel and Trial Counsel, one firm. The lawyers who help build the company know what it takes to defend it, working as one team with a shared understanding of the business, the documents, and the value at stake.

Strategy Before Process.

The next legal task is not always the next strategic move. Pacini Law helps clients define the objective, identify the leverage that matters, and focus work where it can change the outcome.

A Different Option.
Direct Access to the Lawyers Doing the Work.

Pacini Law pairs the training and capability of a leading firm with the focus of a boutique. We take a deliberately small number of matters, so clients work directly with senior lawyers who know the business, own the strategy, and remain accountable for the work.

Pacini Law brings together lawyers whose practices span growth-company disputes, private equity and emerging-company matters, complex commercial contracts, insurance recovery, governance, and outside general-counsel support. The team has handled state and federal jury and bench trials, appeals, arbitration hearings, and major commercial transactions opposite leading firms and companies.
