Grant Gulovsen

Grant Gulovsen, Esq. has been advising and representing technology startups since late 2017. The work he regularly performs in this role includes the following:

• Managing clients’ day-to-day legal operations (e.g., corporate filings, SEC filings, USPTO filings, drafting and negotiating employment agreements, software license agreements, NDAs, etc.)

• Handling compliance and regulatory questions/issues as they arise, including communicating with U.S. regulators (and occasionally regulators in other jurisdictions such as the FCA in the U.K. as appropriate);

• Managing relationships with outside counsel for issues that are outside his wheelhouse (especially in non-U.S. jurisdictions); and

• Constantly researching laws and regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere to stay abreast of their impact on client operations and giving guidance accordingly.

Prior to representing technology startups, Grant worked for 10 years at a civil and commercial litigation firm in Illinois, handling a wide variety of cases including bankruptcy (debtor and creditor), commercial and corporate litigation, criminal defense, employment (employer and employee), environmental (state and federal) and intellectual property.

Before starting his legal career, Grant earned his bachelor’s degree from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, majoring in philosophy and minoring in computer science. He also served in the United States Army from 1991 to 1994, including a tour in Somalia as part of Operation Restore Hope. He received his law degree, magna cum laude, from the University of Illinois College of Law in 1998 and passed the Illinois bar exam that same year.
