They handled our structured finance work with the same sophistication we'd expect from a large firm, at the speed an early-stage company needs.
Pacific Street guided us through our seed round with a clear sense of what was worth negotiating and what terms needed to fit our business model. They helped us navigate novel and complex state regulatory rules to ensure our products and services were compliant. They have been a key advisor at every stage of our growth.

The Pacific Street Difference
Elite lawyers at every step.
Our attorneys trained at leading law schools and firms, served at the highest levels of government, and advised companies through consequential decisions. Our technology is built around their judgment: what matters, when to dig deeper, and what excellent legal work looks like. Technology extends that judgment; it doesn't replace it.
Top caliber lawyers in your corner from the start.
We operate at startup pace.
Pacific Street integrates proprietary technology throughout every step of our legal work, accelerating research, analysis, drafting, and execution so our lawyers can move as quickly as our clients do.
Lawyers that move at the speed of your business.
Built to scale, just like you.
Traditional law firms scale by adding lawyers, layers, and billable hours. Pacific Street is built differently. Our advanced technology allows lean teams of exceptional lawyers to take in more information and bring their judgment to more of your business without running up the meter.
And that advantage grows as we work together. Our technology carries the work we've done together forward, so your preferences and the legal work you've already invested in informs every matter that follows.
Legal experience that compounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Pacific Street different from a traditional law firm?
Traditional law firms scale by adding lawyers, layers, and billable hours. Pacific Street uses technology to give experienced lawyers greater leverage. That means leaner teams, faster work, and access to top-tier legal judgment across more of your business without running up the meter.
Is my lawyer real or an AI bot?
Real lawyers. Every piece of legal work we deliver is reviewed by an experienced, licensed attorney. We use technology to make our lawyers faster and more effective, not to replace them. Your lawyer remains responsible for the judgment, strategy, and advice you receive.
How does Pacific Street use AI and technology?
Technology is built into the operating system of Pacific Street. We are helping build proprietary technology around how our lawyers work, so that every new matter can begin with the knowledge and context we have already developed for you.
Our technology can conduct initial reviews, research and analyze issues, draft and compare documents, and surface the information that matters. It learns your business, contracts, standards, negotiating positions, risk tolerance, and prior decisions, then applies that context to future matters. Our lawyers can start further ahead and spend more of their time on strategy, judgment, negotiation, and the issues that actually require an experienced lawyer.
We think this is how a modern law firm should work: technology does more of the process; lawyers spend more of their time exercising judgment.
Does Pacific Street get to know my business over time?
Yes. Our technology carries our work together forward, including what we've learned about your business, your preferences, your decisions, and your prior legal work. That means future matters can build on the work you've already invested in rather than starting from scratch. We can retain the context that makes our advice better for you without making your confidential information available to others.
What types of businesses does Pacific Street work with?
Pacific Street works with a broad array of businesses from startups and growth companies to major global companies. We serve founders, investors, and other clients across a diverse array of practice areas. We have particular experience working with innovative companies in the technology, fintech, financial services, digital assets, healthcare, energy, sectors, helping each navigate complex legal, regulatory, and strategic questions.

We have built a broad network of specialists under the Pacific Street banner, all working within the same technology, modern pricing model, and approach to client service. You bring us the problem. We build the right team to solve it, without defaulting to the layers, hours, and cost of a traditional large law firm. Modern technology, modern pricing, and the right legal team for you.
How does Pacific Street charge for legal work?
We believe pricing should make sense for the work, not the size of the team assigned to it. Depending on the matter, we can offer flat fees, project-based pricing, ongoing arrangements, or hourly billing. We work with clients to find a structure that provides the right balance of predictability and flexibility depending on the help they need.
Can Pacific Street serve as outside general counsel?
Yes. Pacific Street can serve as outside general counsel or work alongside your existing in-house legal team. Our model allows businesses to access experienced lawyers across a range of legal needs without having to build a large internal legal department or engage a different law firm for every issue.
How will I work with my lawyer?
Wherever you already work. We can communicate by email, Slack, Telegram, or whatever platform makes the most sense for you and your team. Our goal is to fit into the way your business operates, not make you adapt to the way a traditional law firm does.
Where is Pacific Street located, and can you work with me remotely?
Our main offices are in New York City at 7 World Trade Center, but we support businesses across the United States. We are happy to meet you in New York, travel to you when it makes sense, or work with you remotely.
