About
My name is Justin Avellar
I am a lawyer who focuses on helping entrepreneurs and nonprofits with practical and approachable legal solutions and guidance.
I've always strived for excellence. I earned my law degree from a top U.S. law school and before opening Avellar Law, I worked at a large international law firm in New York City, which honed my ability to navigate legal and business risk.
I am passionate about helping businesses and nonprofits grow and would love to you with yours!
Practice Areas
I work with all types of businesses, startups, and nonprofits on a wide range of legal issues, including corporate formation, investor acquisition, financing, corporate governance, commercial contracts, employment agreements, lease negotiations, and business acquisition or sale.
