Lindsey S. Mignano represents emerging and small businesses in the Bay Area. She provides businesses with counseling and transactional services, including business formation and expansion into US markets, contract drafting and negotiation, and financing matters.

Prior to launching Smith Shapourian Mignano PC, Lindsey practiced law in the San Francisco office of an international law firm. Lindsey has been recognized as a “Rising Star” by Super Lawyers every year since 2016, an honor awarded to only 2.5% of attorneys under the age of 40.

Lindsey is intimately familiar with the grit and concerns of small business owners. In fact, for over 50 years, her family owned and managed a small business (a poultry farm) in the State of Hawaii.
