Corporate Counsel

Small Dog Electronics, headquartered in Waitsfield, Vermont, is one of the nation's largest online resellers of Apple products. Dunkiel Saunders serves as the company's general counsel, providing a wide range of legal and strategic business advice to help it chart a path of steady and sustainable growth.

In the past few years, Small Dog has moved to augment its online business with a strong brick-and-mortar presence, opening new stores in Vermont and New Hampshire. Attorneys at Dunkiel Saunders facilitated Small Dog's expansion by providing counsel on the contractual, business, and real estate issues associated with securing suitable commercial space, and advised management on employment-law issues related to hiring new workers in both states. We also worked with Small Dog to ensure that as the business grew, it stayed focused on its underlying social responsibility goals.

Opening new retail locations was an unexpected move for Small Dog, but it has turned out to be a great strategic decision. The stores are a showcase for Small Dog's famous commitment to customer service and serve as a strong foundation for the company's further growth.
