Law Office of
Richard P. Goldberg
Washington, D.C.
Corporate Practice
Mr. Goldberg counsels small to mid-sized companies in various aspects of corporate and transactional law, including contract issues and negotiations, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property matters, employment, contractor, vendor, and agent agreements, anti-corruption and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act compliance, federal lobbying disclosure compliance, and disputes with agents, contractors, and vendors. For smaller companies, which would not find having a dedicated inside counsel to be cost-effective, he performs that function, assisting with legal and business strategy and negotiations. Most clients find that having a single attorney who both understands the company's business and knows its history is far more efficient than coordinating overlapping work by multiple attorneys and leaves company executives free to concentrate on running the company.

Mr. Goldberg's corporate practice frequently includes counseling technology and engineering companies, especially those specializing in software development and information security, in contract issues and negotiations, employment issues, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and intellectual property matters. Mr. Goldberg assists clients in protecting intellectual property rights, especially in joint ventures and engagements with contractors and other third-party vendors. He has also helped many companies from their inception, including creating the initial business entities and negotiating their first business relationships, and he continues to represent them as they grow.

Mr. Goldberg has represented a wide variety of individuals and businesses in corporate matters, including large and small software companies, information security consultancies, federal lobbyists, corporate officers, oil-services companies, non-profit entities, and government contractors.
