About

As a founder and former GC, I got tired of watching startups waste time and money on slow, outdated legal. So we built @VirtualCounsel—a digital-first firm that moves like your startup: fast, transparent, and by humans choosing smart tech. From formation to exit, we keep legal simple, strategic, and built for momentum.

Testimonials

"We're a health tech start up that produces an advanced wellness product designed to optimize human performance, enhance longevity, and promote holistic health. We needed consistent legal support to sustain the business, everything from employment agreements, negotiations, partnership agreements, terms of service, purchase agreements, etc. Daniel and Virtual Counsel is the best service provider I have ever worked with. I've been working with them for years now over several technology start ups. The predictable budget with the monthly subscription helps us maintain financial stability even through the ups and downs of a start up. VC is consistent, reliable, and highly competent. I can trust them to deliver."
