Founder | Business Attorney
Experienced. Dedicated. Diligent.
A Business Lawyer Who Understands Business
Steven S. Stark brings more than 30 years of legal experience serving as both General Counsel and external counsel to companies of all sizes across diverse industries. What sets him apart is his dual perspective: he’s not only a seasoned business attorney but also an entrepreneur who has successfully founded and operated multiple businesses in New York City and Florida.
This unique combination of legal expertise and entrepreneurial experience allows Mr. Stark to provide counsel that goes beyond technical legal advice. He understands the practical realities of running a business—the challenges of cash flow, the pressure of growth decisions, and the importance of protecting what you’ve built while seizing opportunities.
Comprehensive Counsel for Every Aspect of Your Business
Mr. Stark regularly advises senior management and department heads across all functional areas of business operations, including:
- Business Development and strategic partnerships
- Human Resources and employment matters
- IT operations and technology agreements
- Sales, Marketing, and Customer Service
- Finance and risk management
- Corporate policies, procedures, and governance
His practice encompasses the full spectrum of business legal needs—from contract drafting and negotiation to employment issues, business disputes, regulatory compliance, and entity formation. He has also served as General Counsel for several 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, ensuring compliance with local, state, federal, and IRS regulations.
A Partner in Your Success
Mr. Stark focuses his practice on helping entrepreneurs and small businesses not just survive, but thrive. He believes that engaging legal counsel at the earliest stages is essential to building a well-founded, sustainable business. Too often, businesses wait until problems arise, when prevention would have been simpler and more cost-effective.
To Mr. Stark, being a good business attorney means being more than a legal advisor—it means serving as a trusted confidant, strategic counselor, and unwavering advocate for your business and your success. He takes the time to understand your goals, your industry, and your vision, providing guidance that aligns legal strategy with business objectives.
Transparent, Value-Driven Legal Services
Understanding that cost predictability is crucial for small businesses, Mr. Stark offers many services on a fixed-fee basis. This approach allows you to budget effectively and ensures that legal services truly add value to your business rather than creating financial uncertainty.
