Start with the matter at hand.

For founders validating a business, building a team, seeking funding or expanding partnerships. Support focuses on the matter that most needs to move forward, from founder arrangements and investor communication to everyday operations.

01

Investor introductions and financing negotiations

Organise fundraising materials and terms for discussion, supporting investor introductions and negotiations on term sheets and financing agreements.

02

Data and intellectual property

Clarify ownership of products, software, brands and work product, and support arrangements for data use, licensing, confidentiality and IP agreements.

03

Commercial contracts and ongoing support

Review customer, supplier and collaboration agreements, and address legal questions relating to the team, equity and everyday operations.

Materials typically needed

  • An overview of the venture and product, team information, current objectives and timing.
  • Fundraising materials, terms already discussed, equity arrangements and existing agreements.
  • Data and IP use, commercial contracts under negotiation and known disagreements.

What you can expect

  • Fundraising communication and negotiation support: Matters relating to investor introductions, facts that need explaining, clause options and agreement revisions.
  • Data and IP arrangements: A list of ownership, use and licensing issues, with agreement support within the agreed scope.
  • Everyday business support: Contract revisions, risk explanations and actionable next steps.

These are typical areas of work. Specific deliverables, revision rounds and timing are agreed at engagement.

Make the service boundaries clear.

Introduction support does not guarantee successful fundraising, an investment commitment or a particular valuation. The scope for securities issuance, tax, foreign-law and specialist regulatory work must be agreed for the specific matter.

AI may assist with organising materials, comparing versions and preparing drafts. The responsible lawyer or appropriately qualified professional handles transaction trade-offs, professional judgment, communication and delivery.
