Spoiler: It’s more than just contracts and cap tables.
At Founders Law, we do more than just provide legal support for startups and scaleups, we embed into your team. Whether you need your first in-house General Counsel or an extension of your existing legal function, we act as part of your crew, not just your lawyers.
What makes us different? Every lawyer on our team has worked at top-tier law firms and in-house at scaling tech companies. We know what it’s like on the inside and we bring that experience to the table with practical, commercial-first advice that helps you move fast, raise well, and stay protected.
Here’s a very topline breakdown of the legal advice we typically provide and how we help you scale with confidence:
