We are a boutique law firm specializing in Securities and Corporate Finance for early stage companies.

In its early stages, your business may not require an expensive team of big firm downtown lawyers to help guide your progress. You need professional and timely advise on formation, structure and venture financing in order to provide a firm and effective foundation for growth. At Harder & Company, we view early expert advice as essential to forming the strong base essential for future success.
