About
I am a former engineer (UC Berkeley EECS) turned legal advisor to high tech startups. I have acted as outside general counsel to numerous companies, ranging from those with $0 in the bank to those with billion dollar market caps. I uniquely understand the needs of businesses at various life stages and am able to provide practical and results oriented legal advice. At the end of the day, my goal is to be a premier yet capital efficient resource to help propel your business forward.

"Sumin was our primary day-to-day attorney for my startup. Typical for a first time founder/CEO, I had tons of questions, and Sumin became a trusted partner to me with great counsel on all the various topics associated with scaling a startup. He was always available, and provided great advice and follow up. I highly recommend him."
