Case in Point

When Tyler Murphy opened his tech company in 2011, he started small scale by working with local companies that wanted to improve their IT infrastructure. As technology evolved, Tyler focused on expanding his area of expertise on real time data analytics—knowledge for which many more companies have need—and his clientele expanded exponentially to include much larger tech players. Tyler landed a huge contract to supply Cloud Security Services to a major global company.  He chose Tier 2 offered by MOGC but after just a few months, he and his MOGC attorney realized the services he required would necessitate a bump to the next level in order to meet the legal needs of his growing company. Now Tyler has the legal support he needs to ensure compliance with constantly changing industry regulations and to work closely with him to strategize the new chapter of his company’s growth.
