FIRM OVERVIEW

ABOUT FOUNDING ATTORNEY MARIA RELOS

Maria Relos has been working with local businesses since she was 16 years old. A natural with accounting and organization, she opened her own business at the young age of 19, consulting start-ups throughout Silicon Valley. She helped entrepreneurs launch their start-ups by setting up their accounting, establishing their business structure, organizing their operations, working with attorneys to form specific legal entities, assisting in obtaining financing, creating their business and human resource protocols, and scouting local talent.

Maria operated her own business all while attending Santa Clara University, where she obtained a Bachelor of Applied Science. After years of working with start-ups, Maria returned to Santa Clara University for law school. This time, she obtained a Juris Doctor in International Law and later an L.L.M. in intellectual property. She also completed a summer tutorial at Oxford University, Magdalen College.

For over a decade, Maria has focused on multiple practice areas, including real property, estates and trusts, civil litigation, intellectual property, conservatorships, construction litigation related to license and bond defense and construction defects, and business formation and transactions. She has also acted as General Counsel for various business clients including tech startups, small business owners, residential and commercial buyers and sellers, developers, homeowners associations, restaurant owners and vendors, contractors, brokers, agents, administrators of estates during probate, and other individuals and entities.

I established this law firm so that I could help the members of my community when they need it most.
