View open rolesWhat is the “Mission” in Mission Law?
Mission Law is built around three commitments that shape how we deliver excellent legal service to early-stage startups.
Providing clarity and transparency to our clients
Encouraging those clients to make ethical decisions as they grow
Cultivating a healthy, fulfilling workplace for our legal professionals
Clarity & Transparency
We're transparent about the cost and status of every deliverable, leveraging technology to make us more predictable, efficient and effective. Driven by values rather than billable-hour incentives, we hold ourselves to a standard of excellent service, clearly communicated.
Ethical Growth
We partner with startups that want to build thoughtfully and intentionally. As strategic advisors, we help them navigate both legal and ethical decisions. We remind founders that they have far more agency around ethics than conventional shareholder-primacy thinking allows, and we encourage them to explore alternative structures like public benefit corporations or for-profit/nonprofit hybrids where appropriate. Growth doesn't have to come at the cost of your values.
Fulfilling Workplace
We're very intentional about making Mission Law a genuinely great place to work. A healthy, fulfilling work environment can be redemptive for our attorneys and our support staff, which ultimately benefits our clients as well: happy legal professionals deliver better legal services.
“We believe doing good work and doing the right thing have always been the same thing. That's the mission.”
What our clients say
“If you're building a startup and need legal help, you are f#$&^%! yourself by not using Mission Law. You will not find this level of speed and performance in the entire world.”
Roy Lee
Founder/CEO, Cluely
“I really like Mission. I've used them for like 5 years. Quick, high quality, not super expensive.”
Luke Barwikowski
Co-Founder/CEO, Pixels
“We've had a terrific experience with Mission Law. Their responsiveness, availability, and consistency have helped us drive progress and high velocity as we scaled. They add to our bandwidth by taking coordination and follow-up off our plate, freeing up our team's time while giving us peace of mind that everything is in good hands.”
