START-UP IMPERATIVES
Fledgling start-ups often delay their interaction with law leading to an inverse effect on the business in the long term. It is imperative for early-stage start-ups to engage with legal requirements sooner rather than later.
SUPPORTING ENTREPRENEURS
With the experience of having worked with start-ups (ranging across sectors) as well as investors on fund raising, we understand the nuances involved for a start-up in raising funds. Our experience has equipped us with the insight to protect the interest of our start-up clients in structuring transactions and drafting of transaction documents including SHA, SSA, SPA and other ancillary documents. We also assist clients in structuring the capitalization table to depict clear ownership records preventing unnecessary dilution, negotiating and closing transactions including post-closing integration and transition.
We work closely with early stage companies in obtaining requisite approvals, licenses and registrations, maintaining proper filings, reports and disclosures to appropriate authorities, account books and legally compliant internal company policies and templating vendor and customer agreements.
Our assistance and services extend beyond registrations and transactions to ongoing assistance with routine operational matters from a legal and compliance perspective. We are cognizant of the challenges involved in launching and sustaining a successful start-up. We help our clients with drafting of internal policies, regular compliances, reporting and disclosures, eventually positioning them successfully for subsequent funding rounds.
