Business & Founder Counsel

Overview

Every company stands on its legal foundation: how it is formed, who owns it, and what the founders have agreed to in writing. We build that foundation properly from the start, and we fix the ones that were put together in a hurry.

The early legal choices a founder makes, from what entity to form to how ownership is split and what happens if someone leaves, shape everything that follows. We work through those choices with you in plain terms, then put them in writing so they hold up.

We also stay on as counsel as the company grows: adding partners, restructuring ownership, and keeping the documents in step with how the business actually operates.

What we handle

• Entity formation and choice of entity
• Operating agreements, shareholder agreements, and bylaws
• Founder and partnership agreements, equity splits, and vesting
• Ownership restructuring and cleanup of existing entities
• Adding or removing members, partners, and investors
• Ongoing outside counsel for day-to-day business questions
