General Counsel Services – Ongoing Legal Support
Legal Expertise Without the Cost of a Full-Time In-House Lawyer
Running a business requires constant legal oversight to manage risks, ensure compliance and navigate commercial agreements. However, hiring a full-time in-house legal team can be costly and impractical for many startups and growth-stage businesses. Without access to strategic legal guidance, businesses face increased exposure to regulatory breaches, contract disputes and investor conflicts that can disrupt operations and hinder growth.

Whether you need contract negotiations, compliance monitoring, risk management or investor legal advisory, our team acts as your trusted legal partner, ensuring your business remains legally secure, investor-ready and fully compliant.
General Counsel Services
Ongoing Legal Advisory
Businesses require continuous legal oversight to manage contracts, partnerships and regulatory obligations. Without a dedicated legal advisor, companies risk entering unfavourable agreements, breaching compliance requirements and facing operational disputes.
Our ongoing legal advisory services ensure businesses have expert legal guidance on-demand, allowing them to make informed decisions while avoiding unnecessary legal risks. We provide tailored legal strategies that align with business objectives, ensuring startups and growth-stage companies operate with confidence and legal security.
Risk & Compliance Management
Regulatory compliance is critical for businesses operating in highly regulated sectors such as fintech, Web3, financial services and digital commerce. Failure to comply with AML/KYC laws, data protection regulations and financial reporting obligations can result in penalties, business restrictions and reputational damage.
We provide comprehensive risk assessments, compliance monitoring and policy implementation to help businesses stay ahead of regulatory changes and industry-specific legal requirements. Our team ensures businesses mitigate legal risks while maintaining full compliance across jurisdictions.
Contracts & Negotiations
A strong contract framework is essential for protecting business relationships, defining obligations and preventing disputes. Poorly structured contracts can lead to financial losses, operational disruptions and litigation risks. We draft, review and negotiate commercial contracts, partnership agreements and investor term sheets, ensuring businesses secure favourable terms that protect their interests while maintaining enforceability.
Our expertise covers supplier agreements, service contracts, joint ventures and employment agreements, helping businesses navigate critical negotiations with legal certainty.
Fundraising & Investor Support
Raising capital requires legally sound investment agreements that protect founders, align with investor expectations and comply with securities laws. Startups that fail to structure funding rounds correctly risk unfair dilution, investor disputes and regulatory penalties. We assist businesses with SAFE/SAFT agreements, equity financing contracts and venture capital negotiations, ensuring businesses attract funding while securing their ownership and financial stability.
Our expertise in shareholder agreements, investor protections and exit strategies ensures businesses structure deals that support long-term growth and investment security.
Corporate Governance & Exit Strategies
Strong corporate governance is essential for maintaining transparency, accountability and investor confidence. Businesses that lack structured governance frameworks risk shareholder disputes, regulatory investigations and leadership conflicts. We assist businesses in developing board governance policies, shareholder rights agreements and executive decision-making frameworks.
Whether planning for IPO, M&A, investor buyouts or leadership transitions, we provide strategic legal advisory that ensures smooth exit planning and regulatory compliance.
