Traverse Legal, PLC has already expanded to other states, with offices in California and Virginia. Now they're looking southward again with the opening of a new office in Austin, Texas.
Traverse Legal is, naturally, based in Traverse City. The firm specializes in Internet-related legal issues and so far, has expanded in locations that offer growth in that industry.
"We view Austin as a market that has weathered the recession, and is now positioned for extraordinary growth, especially in the technology sector," says Enrico Schaefer, managing partner of the firm. "We want to be there for those companies to help them achieve their business objectives."
But the firm has a much wider array of clients than simply tech companies, like already-signed-on Austin client Choosewhat.com, which offers small business services.s
"These days, every company has a website, and is confronting legal issues related to their online presence." says Schaefer. "Since we understand the internet and the back-end technology that drives it, we can help."
Attorney Robert Kleinman will manage the Austin office.
