Practice & Industries
Legal Support Designed for Global-Minded Businesses
At Stefanescu & Associates, we bring a mission-driven approach to business law — one that’s built on cultural understanding, global awareness, and practical problem-solving. As a non-profit law firm, we’re dedicated to supporting small businesses that are often overlooked by traditional legal models — especially those from diaspora and international communities who are building something meaningful from the ground up.
We focus on businesses that offer more than just products — businesses that carry stories, heritage, and values into the marketplace. Whether you're forming your first LLC, scaling an artisan goods brand, launching a workforce training program, or applying for Title IV or grant funding, we’re here to guide you through the legal complexities that come with growth. Our team also assists with select grant funding support for clients who have already identified the specific opportunity they’re pursuing.

Our goal is to make legal services feel approachable, affordable, and genuinely helpful — so you can focus on what you do best: creating, educating, trading, and thriving.
OUR PRACTICE AREAS
We focus on the areas of law that small businesses encounter most, especially when expanding across industries and borders.
Intellectual Property & Technology
Your brand, your creations, and your technology are valuable. We help you secure them. Whether you're launching a new product or protecting your name and logo, we provide guidance on trademark searches, copyrights, and software agreements so you can grow with confidence.
Construction & Real Estate
Whether you’re leasing a storefront, acquiring property, or working with contractors, we help you understand the contracts behind the build. We assist with lease negotiations, construction agreements, and dispute resolution to keep your projects on solid ground.
EDUCATION FUNDING & BUSINESS CONSULTING
Helping schools and training programs access the funding they need to grow. We assist with workforce training grants, Title IV funding, and select grant funding support — as long as clients have identified the specific grant they’re applying for. Our team guides you through the legal and regulatory steps to secure financial support. From structuring your program to navigating compliance, we’re here to help mission-driven educators move forward with clarity.
