Founders & Startups
Launch-ready legal foundations for emerging space, AI, and deep tech companies.
Launch smarter.
Our clients are building the infrastructure of the future. We partner with technical founders tackling hard problems: orbital autonomy, human spaceflight, machine learning for mission systems, novel propulsion, secure compute. We help early-stage teams get their legal house in order without slowing them down.
Risk Intelligence, Crisis Tested
The Bridge Between Agility and Accountability
Having lived on both ends of the spectrum—from lean startup to entrenched bureaucracy—Linton bridges the gap. We help clients move fast without breaking things that matter. Whether scaling a venture or shoring up enterprise risk, we offer grounded, business-first counsel.
From Zero to Launch: Building Legal for Space and Deep Tech
We know what it means to build from scratch. Standing up a legal function in a fast-moving space company means designing scalable contracting systems, establishing compliance in the absence of precedent, and earning the trust of engineers, investors, and regulators alike. We’ve lived the early-stage chaos—translating risk into action, not paralysis.
Navigating Crisis at Scale
In an emergency, legal advice must be decisive and practical. Linton led the legal response for a major U.S. government contractor during the COVID-19 pandemic—interpreting evolving federal guidance, protecting workforce safety, and keeping mission-critical operations running. We bring calm, experienced crisis judgment when the stakes are highest.
