Good stuff. WSGR continues to shine in helping entrepreneurs!

WSGR is literally a 'textbook' example of what a good law firm is. In my graduate entrepreneurial finance class, we studied a case where an entrepreneur had to choose between giving Rosati a non-trivial amount of equity in return for legal services or going to another law firm. Not knowing how important good lawyers are, when the professor suggested going with Rosati was the best course of action, I strongly argued against it. Since then, every time I have encountered a story about WSGR (often about Yokum and often on HN), I have been reminded of how wrong I was.

Thank you for the comment. And I'm pretty sure that you are not someone from our marketing department. :)

No I am not. Actually the idea of giving equity in exchange for a service still bothers me (like the ad on HN the other day for an apartment for rent in exchange for equity) but I have learnt the credibility that one earns from having a great lawyer can make all the difference, especially early on.
