We assist startups in structuring their legal affairs in a manner that supports sustainable growth while addressing potential legal and commercial risks.

We also advise on venture capital and private equity investments, term sheets, share subscriptions, due diligence, ESOPs, mergers and acquisitions, strategic partnerships, licensing arrangements, and exit transactions. Our team assists clients in negotiating and reviewing agreements with investors, employees, customers, vendors, technology partners, and other stakeholders.

Where disputes or regulatory issues arise, we assist clients through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and appropriate legal proceedings. Our approach combines practical legal advice with an understanding of the evolving commercial and technological environment in which startups operate.

Questions

Frequently asked

Before incorporation, or immediately after — it is the cheapest document a startup will ever need, and the most expensive one to draft after a disagreement has already started.
