Panakos Law, APC is a business-focused law practice that provides legal advice and dispute resolution services to emerging companies, privately-held corporations, select publicly-traded companies and their shareholders and investors.

Headquartered in San Diego, our small firm provides comprehensive legal services to business owners and entrepreneurs in transactional, litigation, fundraising, and intellectual property matters. We are an interdisciplinary commercial-law practice with an international reach. From entity formation to mergers and acquisitions and all types of business disputes including complex litigation matters, our counsel is comprehensive yet specialized.

From private securities offerings to intellectual property and aggressive business litigation, our small team of business lawyers and support staff work collaboratively to protect, enforce and defend our clients’ personal and business interests.

Start | Fund | Grow | Defend | Exit ®


The business lawyers at Panakos Law take a unique approach to providing the legal support our clients need with a comprehensive strategy that produces solutions, not endless billable hours. Our experienced team works with business owners and entrepreneurs throughout the entire business lifecycle, from entity formation through growth and into an exit or transition.

We believe in transparent, value-based legal fees and offer Fixed-Fee billing for many transactional-related matters including business entity formation, trademark filings, and certain private securities offerings.

Our San Diego business attorneys protect, enforce, and defend business owners and companies of all sizes from throughout the entire business lifecycle. From new venture startup counsel to complex commercial litigation, the business attorneys with Panakos Law understand you and your business and understand how to deliver comprehensive legal solutions at transparent fees.

Small Firm Relationships. Large Firm Results.


VALUE-BASED BILLING

Although the billable hour is still used by most attorneys (including us for matters that are dynamic, have hard-to-define deliverables, or are dispute-related), we believe in transparent, clear pricing for those matters where we can define the needed deliverable or legal service requested. Depending on your unique matter and overall goals, as well as your budget, we make our billing methods transparent upfront, so we can effectively and efficiently resolve the dispute, complete a business transaction, or deliver on a fixed-fee project.
