Barry Law is about technology.  Technology lies at the core of every one of our practice areas.  Understanding the interrelationship between computer and Internet technology and areas such as contracting, compliance, intellectual property, and even general corporate law,  is essential to providing the correct legal advice to our clients.  Barry Law Firm was founded by an Internet pioneer who has been involved with Internet technology since 1984, before it even became known as the Internet.  She co-founded the company that created the first Internet applications suite on the Macintosh platform.  That was in 1988, before the advent of the World Wide Web.  That is the type of visionary outlook your company needs to get the most out of doing business in an interconnected world.

There are lots of lawyers out there.  However, very few attorneys understand what it's like to grow a business from nothing, into one that commanded 85% market share.  Most lawyers didn't begin shaping Internet policies before the advent of the World Wide Web.  Most lawyers also didn't lead the team that created the first commercial web browser on the Macintosh platform, necessary to use the fledgling World Wide Web. 

As a business owner, you want a business attorney who understands your day to day operations, your cash flow issues, and your desire to avoid conflicts. You want a business lawyer who has actually run a successful  business. You don’t want a large litigation firm, whose job is to help you AFTER an issue arises. You want a business minded attorney who is an expert on prevention who will find and fix potential problems BEFORE they become too costly for your bottom line.
