    “Atka helped us cut through the noise. They were calm, clear, and always one step ahead of the next complication.”

  • A man with dark curly hair, glasses, and a beard wearing a black sweater, sitting indoors.

    “I’ve worked with a lot of law firms — most are slow or transactional. Atka felt like part of our team. ”

    Oscar Kaplan

  • Smiling young woman with short black hair in a blue top, standing in a green, plant-filled indoor environment.

    "We’re not a huge company, but Atka made us feel like we mattered. They helped us review international contracts without the legal fluff. Just clear, kind, and on point.”

Your questions, answered.

  • Not at all. While we’re deeply experienced in tech, AI, and venture law, we also advise family offices, international SMEs, and established businesses navigating cross-border, commercial, or governance issues. If clarity and forward thinking matter to your business, we’re likely a good fit.

  • Both. Many of our clients come to us with a specific challenge — a deal, an expansion, or a regulatory question. But they often stay because we offer more than documents; we bring strategy, discretion, and partnership that scales with your growth.

  • Absolutely. Most of our clients start with questions, not answers. We’re here to listen, understand your goals, and help map the right legal or strategic next step — even if that means keeping things simple.

  • We blend legal precision with design-level care. Our work is modern, minimal, and deeply strategic — whether you’re reviewing a contract or structuring a new venture. We’re not just here to reduce risk. We’re here to help you grow, with confidence.

  • Regulations may evolve, but a solid foundation means you stay nimble. We build strategies that adapt and keep you ahead of the curve.
