Chambliss Startup Group
About
Chambliss Startup Group takes a comprehensive, 360° approach to advising entrepreneurs, emerging and high growth companies, and investors. We are deeply rooted in the startup community and counsel clients in a variety of industries, including healthtech, 3-D printing, transportation and logistics, real estate, and manufacturing. Some of our clients include Branch Technology, Pass it Down, CO.STARTERS, and International Maritime Security Associates.
We advise businesses and entrepreneurs on raising capital and investments, IP protection, employment considerations, general business strategies, complex transactions and contracts, and risk mitigation. From the complex situations to the fundamental questions – we are here for it all. Our experience encompasses all stages of business development and structuring to meet the evolving needs of our clients. Founders, executives, investors, and community stakeholders turn to our team for advice because they value our passion, commitment to the startup community, and diverse skill sets. Maximizing opportunity by providing forward thinking strategies and cost effective legal solutions, including flexible fee arrangements, is our top priority.
We serve clients across the U.S. in a variety of industries and are a dedicated partner in Chattanooga’s rapidly evolving entrepreneurial ecosystem. Our firm’s longstanding relationship with EPB has enabled us to be on the ground floor with some of Chattanooga’s most innovative technology projects, including The Gig, and we work closely with The Enterprise Center on supporting Chattanooga’s Innovation District. Our attorneys dedicate their time supporting The Company Lab (CO.LAB) and other local organizations, frequently serving as mentors in accelerator programs, offering community office hours, speaking at Startup Week Cha, evaluating pitches at demo events, volunteering as board members, and providing insight through the Chambliss Startup Group blog.
