Our Story

History

 

In April 1996, Colin A. Coleman started his own firm after nine years in the corporate department of the Boston office of Edwards & Angell, LLP.

Senior Attorney Lawrence J. Sheh joined the firm in September 1998.

In 2010, the firm changed its name to Innovative Business Law Group, PC (IBLG). 

Our name represents our commitment to create and implement innovative and creative ways to serve clients faster, more efficiently and at a lower cost than traditional law firms. 

 

IBLG’s Philosophy and Vision

 

Embrace Technology

We look to use technology to improve efficiency in our practice whenever possible.  For example, we use Smartsheet (www.smartsheet.com) to collaborate and communicate with clients and referral sources.

Listen Closely & Stay Proactive

We spend time listening and asking questions to understand your goals and objectives so we can best advise you on potential roadblocks and pitfalls.  Retaining us early in the process will usually save you time and money.  Compare us to lawyers who are predominantly reactive. 

Sweat the Details

We always keep the big picture in mind, but are attentive to the smaller details that are critical to making transactions run smoothly.  Clients often praise us for identifying and advising them on issues that they had not considered.  We are careful to make our written work product clear, thorough and accurate.

Be Creative

If we do not offer practical advice and creative solutions, then we are not living up to our name.

Foster Solid Relationships

Solid relationships require mutual trust, rapport, communication and honesty.  This is important to us and is one reason we offer services on a flat fee basis.

Enable Open Communication

We believe in up-front discussions about the scope of work we will be performing, the steps that are needed to achieve your objectives and the fees that will be necessary to complete a project.  Open and honest communication will avoid misunderstandings and help establish a collaborative working relationship.
