Frequently Asked Questions
Startup lawyers usually help with incorporation (choosing an entity, registering with authorities), drafting contracts (founders’ agreements, vendor agreements, NDAs), intellectual property protection (trademarks, copyrights, patents), regulatory compliance (tax, labour law, licences), and fundraising agreements (term sheets, investment agreements).
Yes. Starting early with IP protection is important. If you wait, someone else might use a similar name, design, or idea, or you might lose rights due to public disclosure. A lawyer can help you apply for trademarks, ensure designs or inventions are protected, and set agreements with employees or collaborators to assign IP properly.
A founders’ agreement defines roles, equity shares, responsibilities, decision-making powers, exit conditions, vesting of shares, dilution, dispute resolution among founders, and what happens if one founder leaves or underperforms. These details help prevent conflicts later on and clarify expectations for everyone.
They review and negotiate the terms with investors, prepare term sheets, ensure that rights of both parties are fairly represented, check implications for future rounds, assess dilution, advise on valuation, protect founder control where possible, and ensure that legal and regulatory compliances (such as securities laws) are adhered to.
If there are lapses (e.g. missing filings, tax non-compliance, data/privacy breaches), a good startup lawyer can help you assess the risk, rectify past mistakes by submitting overdue documents or disclosures, negotiate penalties if required, and implement systems to avoid repeating errors. Early correction often saves cost and reputational damage.
