Legal Counsel for Startups & Venture Investors
Bad paper at Series A is a discount at Series C.
Founders, angels and funds through formation, financing, ESOPs and exit, at venture pace, with paper built for two rounds out. We write the documents the way they will be read in diligence two years from now: clean, defensible and free of the small concessions that look harmless at signing and become discounts at the next round.
We act for founders, angel investors and institutional funds, with conflicts cleanly managed, and routinely coordinate flip structures, secondaries and exits alongside US, Singapore and UAE counsel.
