Startup Legal

Building a startup is hard enough without legal uncertainty slowing you down. From the moment of incorporation, the legal decisions you make — or fail to make — will determine how much of your company you retain, how cleanly you can raise capital, and how attractive you are to acquirers or investors at exit. We help founders get these decisions right from the start.

Our startup legal practice covers the full journey from Day One to Series A and beyond. We begin with the foundational documents: choosing the right jurisdiction and entity type, structuring founder vesting and cliff arrangements, IP assignment agreements, and the initial shareholders agreement. These early documents set the terms of every future investor conversation.

When fundraising begins, we become your deal counsel: reviewing and negotiating term sheets, managing investor due diligence requests, drafting SAFE notes, convertible instruments, and equity subscription documentation. We ensure the terms you accept are fair, market-standard, and structured to protect your ownership and operational control.

We also support the commercial growth of the business — reviewing and drafting enterprise sales contracts, SaaS agreements, data processing addenda, and partnership frameworks. For hiring, we advise on employment structures, ESOP design, and consultant engagement models that scale with your team.
