Pre-investment legal preparation
Legal preparation for companies approaching fundraising — structuring corporate, IP, and contractual frameworks to pass investor due diligence with confidence.
What our clients face
Upcoming fundraising round
You are preparing your company to attract investment — whether a seed round, Series A, or strategic partnership — and need to ensure your legal foundation is solid before approaching investors.
Investor due diligence requests
Investors or their counsel have requested documentation and you need to ensure your corporate and IP structures are clean and complete.
Pre-negotiation cleanup
You need to resolve structural and contractual issues before entering investment negotiations to avoid deal delays or unfavorable terms.

Audit IP assignment chains, open-source compliance, and trade secret protections.
Employment terms review
Review employment terms for IP clauses, non-competes, and key person dependencies.
