What the matter
actually requires.

The first funding round should not create the next dispute between founders and investors.

We advise on incorporation, founder arrangements, equity, vesting, funding instruments, shareholder protection and the ownership of technology or intellectual property.

Where a startup operates in financial services or another regulated sector, we map authorisation and compliance needs before the business becomes difficult to restructure.

THE QUESTION WE HELP YOU ADDRESS
Are founder, investor and product rights settled before scaling?
