As a separate branch named iSTART1 (https://www.istart1.com), based in the Lower Manhattan at One World Trade Center, 85th Floor, New York, NY 10007, USA, we have differentiated our aim to develop our international legal assistance in two fields.

We promote cooperation between start ups and venture partners and assist in serving their transactions. These two types of services have one common goal in the form of acceleration of business (this is always the primary goal of our services).
