About Freeman Lovell
Years ago, our founding partners, Josh Freeman and Steve Lovell, noticed a glaring gap in the legal industry. Law firms were traditionally structured for two extremes: massive global corporations or individual one-off matters. This left the small-to-mid-market entrepreneur—the engine of the economy—underserved and overcharged.
In 2016, we launched Freeman Lovell to change that. We opted for a remote-first, lean blueprint that prioritizes high-tier legal strategy and technology over physical overhead.
Our Core Philosophy: The Freeman Lovell Blueprint
We don't just handle one-off legal transactions. At Freeman Lovell, we function as your outsourced general counsel—a dynamic legal team that helps you scale and make informed, strategic decisions at every inflection point.
Remote-First & Lean:
We invest in outcomes, not overhead. By utilizing high-tier legal tech and a distributed team model, we remain agile and responsive to your business's needs.
Real Estate—Your Largest Liability or Greatest Asset:
Our Real Estate Team works hand-in-hand with our corporate strategists to ensure that your leases, acquisitions, and property holdings are structured for flexibility.
Litigation—With Growth Comes Conflict:
A lingering lawsuit is not only stressful—it can also be a deal-killer during M&A due diligence. Our Dispute Resolution and Litigation Team focuses on strategic resolutions that mitigate risk and keep your business moving forward.
From Idea to Exit: Whether you’re just getting started, navigating growth, or preparing for a high-value sale, we guide you through the entire journey. We believe a successful exit is earned years in advance through clean corporate practices, protected IP, and enforceable contracts.
Holistic Growth & Flexibility:
From entity formation to complex M&A, our goal is to build long-term flexibility into your legal structure. By combining our expertise in all areas of business law, we ensure that every decision you make today—from hiring your first employee to signing a lease—adds value and aligns with your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose Freeman Lovell over a big, traditional law firm?
Small-to-mid-market business owners often get lost in the shuffle at massive firms. We designed our practice specifically for the issues entrepreneurs face: the need for depth, continuity, and practical guidance over high-volume transactional work.
Our lean model means your legal fees go directly toward legal strategy and process refinement, not our office rent. We use advanced automation tools for LLC formation, contract drafting, and employment agreements to save you time and increase accuracy.

You get to choose the destination, and our job is to help you make the right moves to get there in the safest and most efficient way possible. We aren't here to only say "no" to your ideas. We don't tell you to avoid all risks—we help you take calculated risks that align with your ultimate goals.
Do you offer tools for small businesses?
Yes. Your time is valuable. We help you streamline processes through our proprietary automation tools for LLC Formation, Contract Automation, and Employment Contracts, ensuring you get vetted, high-quality legal documents at the speed of business.
