SAN FRANCISCO — Seyfarth Shaw’s consulting subsidiary wants to make fundraising a little bit easier for young companies.

A wave of crowdfunding portals, including Poliwogg, Kickstarter and Crowdtilt, has emerged since the JOBS Act of 2012 eased securities regulations on small investors. But SeyfarthLean Consulting, which offers support in managing legal and operational work flow, says the burden of compiling the required legal and financial disclosures remains a hurdle for some young companies.
