As part of the organization’s development and growth, Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic’s District of Columbia Metro Chapter welcomes a new host sponsor: Shulman Rogers. Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic, which includes the Philadelphia, New York, D.C. Metro, and Pittsburgh chapters, is a part of the world’s largest, most prolific, and most successful accredited investor community. 

Since 1972, the law firm of Shulman Rogers has provided clients with sound strategic planning and solid business advice. They focus energy on how to make a business opportunity work as opposed to dwelling on the reasons why it won’t. In 2017, Shulman Rogers launched a new program – NEXT™ – that aligns the delivery of legal services with the needs of seed and early-stage companies. NEXT™ legal services are designed, packaged, and delivered to maximize predictability for entrepreneurs and provide a long-term affordable and sustainable model for consuming legal services.

“I think this addresses a critical need in the startup, emerging growth company market,” said Anthony Millin, chairman of the firm’s startups and venture capital practice group and a venture investor and entrepreneur himself. Millin said Shulman Rogers began the program in response to a “lack of alignment” in legal services needs for emerging companies.

“Since 2011, Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic has provided resources, mentoring, and funding to entrepreneurs while delivering investor members with the highest-quality deal flow,” says Howard Lubert, co-founder of Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic and South-East Chapters. NEXT™ powered by Shulman Rogers will enable Keiretsu Forum to provide entrepreneurs pitching members an opportunity to benefit from advanced legal services that are focused on their unique needs.

NEXT™ powered by Shulman Rogers is the future of startup law, delivering legal services via fixed-fee packages, bundles, and memberships. NEXT provides predictable and sustainable fees, direct access to senior attorneys and access to core foundational technology services – courtesy of Nasdaq, NFP and WEST – to ensure startups can maintain a keen focus on growth from launch to each subsequent stage.

Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic is part of Keiretsu Forum, the world’s largest and most active investment community of early-stage angel investors and recently awarded Innovation Enabler by Innovations of the World Magazine. Founded in California in 2000, Keiretsu Forum now includes 53 chapters on four continents. Keiretsu Forum is known for thorough due diligence and exceptional deal flow. For more information about Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic, visit Keiretsuforum-midatlantic.com.
