Real Lawyers.
Expert Guidance.
Built for Founders.
Legal support and services for each stage of your company, all at transparent, predictable prices. Real attorneys, not templates.
A Law Firm, Not Just A Form.
Document platforms sell you the paperwork and leave you to figure out what goes in it. Firms that bill by the hour have the judgment but won't tell you what it costs. GoLong is the attorney and the price, together, up front.
Long Law, P.C.
A New York firm with attorneys admitted in New York, New Jersey, and California. We handle formations, intellectual property, contracts, financings, and disputes. James Long, our lead attorney and founder, built GoLong by Long Law, P.C., for founders who want to scale cleanly and smartly.
Founders trust us with the decisions that matter
A few words from the people we've represented — in their own words.
I never hesitate to send clients to Jim because I know he can handle the specific needs that come up in business transactions.
I hadn't had much experience with business law. Along with forming an LLC, and writing a continuance plan, Long Law helped me understand the application and handled everything for me.
I have worked with a hundred attorneys over the years, and Jim and Will rank among the very best I have ever encountered. They are excellent lawyers, as well as caring, intellectually curious, practical people who become invested in helping their clients.
Long Law is responsive and accessible. I can get a quick answer when I need one. They've also created a tailored approach that gives me access to the legal expertise I need without fees constantly piling up.
I've trusted Jim since the inception of my business. Having him in my corner gives me the confidence to take risks as my business scales.

Long Law attorneys and paralegals handle your matter and keep you informed from start to finish. Questions along the way? Book time to talk whenever you need it.
The Long View
The Long View helps founders understand the legal decisions that emerge as their companies grow. Twice a month, you'll receive practical guidance on what matters now, what can wait, and when it may be time to bring in a lawyer.
Where are you right now?
Legal work follows the company, not the other way around. Find the question you're actually asking and you'll see what usually matters next, what it costs, and what can wait.
Most firms meet you at one of these and hand you off. We'd rather be the one who already knows the company by the time the later ones arrive.

We aren't a document service
More than a form. Real counsel, plainly priced, for founders serious about what they are building. Anyone can sell you a form filing. What we provide is a real attorney behind every product on this site: real guidance, plain answers, and a firm that already knows you when something unplanned comes up.

Free consultation
A short conversation to work out whether we're the right firm for what you need and what it would cost. You'll get a straight answer, including when that answer is that you should be talking to someone else.
Book a consultationAdvice and Counsel Session
A working session on a specific decision. You bring the situation, you leave with a recommendation you can act on. This one is legal advice, and it's a flat fee.
The difference: a consultation decides whether we work together. A session is the work.
Book a sessionAnd the things nobody plans for
Not everything arrives on a schedule. Because Long Law is a full-service firm, an unexpected legal need does not mean finding a new attorney and starting from scratch. The team that already knows your company can step in quickly and help you decide what comes next.
- A cease and desist letter
- A contract dispute
- Litigation
- A one-off project on a short deadline
- A raise that moved faster than expected
Flat fees cover the planned work. For the rest, call us and we'll scope it.
