Technology and Startups

We work with founders from incorporation through exit, and with the funds on the other side of the table. Entity structure including the offshore holding question, which is materially harder since the round-tripping restrictions and should be decided before there is anything to restructure. Founder agreements and vesting. Employee stock option plans that survive a diligence. Seed, venture and growth rounds, with documentation calibrated to the stage rather than to the largest precedent available. Platform and product regulation, intermediary obligations, data protection and consumer exposure. Intellectual property assignment from founders, contractors and agencies, the absence of which is the most common single diligence finding. Commercial contracting with enterprise customers, where the startup usually signs whatever it is sent. Down rounds, bridge structures, secondaries and acquisitions.
