When Adam S. Gottbetter founded his first law firm in 1993, he saw an opportunity to create a practice that would deliver dependable financial business advice as well as legal service to smaller companies and the entrepreneurs who lead them. Since 2003 this approach to corporate and securities law is what distinguishes Gottbetter & Partners, LLP, from other firms. Today, our eight attorneys combine almost 200 years of legal and financial industry experience. Contact our office in midtown Manhattan to learn about our track record, our practice and our client service values.
G&P takes a proactive interest in our clients' success. With an extensive network of securities industry and investment professionals that we can mobilize to advance our clients' interests, our lawyers help new, emerging and growing companies access the capital markets that are indispensable to business success. Our own financial services affiliates also play important roles: Gottbetter Capital Markets, LLC, a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, acts as placement agent for public and private offerings; and Gottbetter Capital Group, Inc., provides financing sources, partners and strategies for public investments in private equities (PIPEs), bridge loans, reverse mergers and self-underwritten public offerings.
Flexible Fee Structures Based on Client Needs and Objectives
Whenever possible, G&P offers a fixed-fee arrangement that allows clients to both budget accurately and avoid surprises through spikes in hourly billing. We believe a fixed-fee arrangement maximizes our incentive to work efficiently, to simplify the transactional process and to complete the project as quickly as possible, without jeopardizing the protection our clients deserve.
There are, of course, some legal services that are not suitable for fixed-fee arrangements. When appropriate, some clients may pay all or part of their bills with their capital stock pursuant to certain terms and conditions. We also accept equity in compensation for non-legal advice, which helps to keep our interests aligned with those of our clients.
Flat Fee Billing for SEC Compliance Work
G&P offers a flat fee billing option regarding SEC compliance filings for our public company clients. We have found that clients appreciate the level monthly billing for budgeting their cash flow. As part of the flat fee, we prepare and file: Form 10-K and all Forms 10-Q; Schedules 13D/G and 16 for officers and directors; Forms 3, 4 and 5 for officers and directors; and Rule 144 opinions. SEC compliance related to extraordinary events such as financings and mergers and acquisitions are billed separately.

Our global clients include public and private corporations, emerging and development stage companies, entrepreneurial startup enterprises, private investment funds and other business entities across a broad range of industries.
