Burrell Law, P.C.

What Burrell Law, P.C. does

Burrell Law, P.C. is a boutique professional services law firm headquartered in New York City with a second office in Washington, D.C., founded by James S. Burrell II. The firm provides transactional and advisory legal services across business formation (LLCs, corporations, operating agreements), corporate law (Series Seed/A/B funding documents, term sheets, founder's agreements), contract negotiation and dispute resolution, securities law (Form S-1 registration, exempt issuances, equity registration), M&A, cryptocurrency and blockchain regulatory advisory (token issuance, Reg D compliance), renewable energy agreements (PPAs, REC transfers), corporate tax, estate planning, cybersecurity and privacy (GDPR/CCPA, eDiscovery), and intellectual property. Target clients are startups, small businesses, and growth-stage companies, with named engagements spanning machine-learning startups, a publicly traded shell company (T-REX Acquisition Corp.), a Singapore-based cryptocurrency company, and SMB clients in food service and digital media. The firm has no proprietary technology platform; its core technology is the legal expertise of its 5 staff, anchored by the founder's 20-plus years of financial-services experience and an LL.M. in Taxation.

Revenue is generated through three pricing streams: complex legal matters billed at $750 per hour without administrative pass-throughs, project-based flat fees for predictable matters (e.g., operating agreements, NDAs), and retainers covering up to ten hours of prospective work. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, leveraging direct client engagement, referrals, content marketing through the firm's blog, and SEO. The firm is 100% black-owned and NYC MBE-certified, and accepts Bitcoin, Zcash, Beam, and NYCoin as payment, positioning itself for crypto-native client acquisition. There is no parent company, no institutional ownership, no funding rounds, and no disclosed revenue; the firm operates as a founder-controlled, bootstrapped boutique.
