About the Firm

Built for Founders Who Move Fast

Moynihan Partners LLC is a Cambridge-based corporate law firm built specifically for growth-stage companies. We provide executive-level legal counsel at a fraction of the cost of a full-time general counsel or a large national firm.

Our team brings the depth of a large firm with the responsiveness and efficiency of a boutique practice. We've run our own businesses, served as General Counsel at a public company, and represented institutional investors at a top-five law firm. We understand both the law and the realities of running a business.

Outsourced in-house counsel — we act as part of your team, not just outside advisors

Transparent, flexible billing — subscription, flat-fee, or hourly

Deep experience across AI, biotech, fintech, SaaS, and digital media

Admitted in Massachusetts and New York

What We Do

Practice Areas

We handle the legal work that matters most during periods of rapid growth.

Services for Startups

Entity formation, capitalization tables, founder agreements, and IP protection designed for early-stage companies. We offer specific packages and fee structures tailored for founders.

Corporate Finance & Private Equity

Seed, Series A, and Series B financings; hedge fund and investment vehicle structuring; private placements; and venture capital advisory for both companies and funds.

Contracts

Drafting and negotiation of complex license agreements, enterprise sales agreements, joint ventures, SaaS contracts, vendor relationships, and Fortune 500 commercial deals.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Buy-side and sell-side advisory for public and private companies — asset and stock purchases, tender offers, due diligence, and international transactions.

Intellectual Property

Trademark and copyright protection, IP portfolio audits and strategy, licensing, and communicating IP issues to management and boards of directors.

Outsourced General Counsel

A high-quality, cost-effective alternative to a full-time in-house attorney. We work closely with executives and boards as trusted, accessible legal and business advisors.

Fee Structures

Billing unpredictability is one of the biggest frustrations founders have with outside counsel. We offer three structures designed to align with how you actually run your business.

Subscription

A customized monthly retainer based on your company's needs. Billed automatically like a SaaS tool — predictable, flexible, and discounted for early payment.

Best for companies with ongoing, recurring legal needs — governance, contracts, financing advisory.
Most Popular

Flat Fee

Choose from our menu of flat-fee services for defined projects, or work with us to set a budget for larger, discrete matters. Pay in advance for a discount or choose a monthly plan.

Best for founders who want cost certainty on a specific transaction, financing, or contract.

Hourly

Engage us at a competitive hourly rate billed monthly. Perfect for ad hoc matters or when you need expert counsel without a longer-term commitment.

Best for one-off questions, document reviews, or matters where scope is uncertain at the outset.

Contact us for a complete fee schedule and to discuss what structure makes the most sense for your company.

The Period After a Fundraise Is Your Most Legally Consequential Moment

New contracts, new markets, new hires — all while moving fast. Having a trusted advisor who anticipates issues before they become problems isn't a luxury. It's a competitive advantage.
