Practice Areas: Business

Since Brian Howe founded Vox in 2009 we have equipped hundreds of individuals and organizations to start real conversations that result in previously unimaginable results. We started as a law firm serving startup businesses, investors, and nonprofits (and are still glad to serve select clients with their comprehensive legal needs). However - our core focus is guiding clients through critical negotiations in order to achieve their personal and business objectives. Our negotiation methods are rooted in behavioral science and have been refined through much experience. Whether it's setting cofounder equity, closing a new investment round, negotiating compensation, navigating a potential HR crisis, testing the seriousness of an opportunity, or establishing terms of a critical business partnership, we help you learn techniques to identify what your counterpart actually needs and wants, then develop a roadmap to reach mutual commitment. For every client we engage, Brian serves as lead counsel and will add support from our roster of former executives, attorneys, and experts as needed.. We help clients get what they want through evidence-based negotiation tactics and support.. For example.... Entrepreneurs: we help entrepreneurs improve their communication during fundraising - from initial pitch to signed term sheet.. Employees: we help employees increase their compensation, at the point of hire, raise or termination.. Executives: we help executives understand their potential customer and/or strategic partner in order to meet their needs and structure a mutually beneficial relationship.. In addition to the above examples, our services can be employed in high-stakes conflict resolution, termination or renegotiation of unfair business agreements, and other critical negotiations. We particularly thrive in two unique situations: (1) where two sides are on the brink of a falling out and each appears immovable; or (2) where two parties are genuinely interested in building a mutually beneficial relationship but have failed to establish mutually acceptable terms.. We provide a 100% money back refund up to $5,000 to any dissatisfied client, no questions asked. Seriously. We value our reputation more than anything.. For projects of less than 5 hours, we charge hourly rates ranging from $125 to $650 an hour. For larger or ongoing projects, we structure customized packages and can consider success-based compensation in some circumstances.
