Matthew Rossetti: When should your startup consider consulting an attorney?
When You’re in a Heavily Regulated Industry

It is also prudent to make certain that any attorney who claims to be a “specialist” is actually certified as such if a certification program is available to them in their jurisdiction. –Matthew Rossetti, Sentient Law, Ltd.
