Using the website www.thestartuplaunchpad.com clients have the ability to obtain free educational materials on a variety of topics integral to startups and they may create important and highly customized legal documents through our document automation platform.

The document automation platform and other improvements to the traditional workflow used by attorneys enable us to offer our documents for lower prices (typically for flat-fees) and deliver them faster than they were in the past.

To date, clients have access to over thirty legal documents through the web portal, including business formation documents, non-disclosure agreements, federal trademark applications, patent applications, employee confidentiality and invention assignment agreements and SaaS agreements. The innovative use of technology to enhance the delivery of legal services has not, however, compromised the Davis Brown tradition of personal counseling and service. The Start-up Launchpad is backed by over 80 attorneys offering services in areas including intellectual property, corporate, tax, securities, software and cyberlaw, employment, immigration, real estate, and litigation. A number of those attorneys have been recognized by third parties including Best Lawyers in America, Chambers and Associates, and Super Lawyers. In addition, the Davis Brown law firm itself has been recognized as the best law firm in Des Moines by the Des Moines Business Record since 2006.

It is their belief that by helping their clients create strong legal foundations they will help them succeed. Ultimately, that will benefit the clients, BrownWinick, and the state.  Startups can email startup@brownwinick.com to set up an initial consultation.
