Clean cap tables, clean contracts, clean incorporation.
Corporate legal advisory for founders
A fractional in-house legal function for Indian startups at pre-seed to Series A. We handle incorporation, co-founder agreements, ESOP design, employment and IP assignment, vendor and customer contracts, and the board-meeting hygiene that investors actually check.
Deliverables
- Incorporation under the Companies Act, 2013 — or clean-up of an existing entity
- Founders' agreement, vesting schedule, and ESOP pool design
- Employment, consultancy, and IP-assignment templates tailored to the business
- Master vendor and customer contract templates
- Board-resolution and minute-book hygiene for the next funding round
Outcomes
- ●A diligence pack that holds up under investor scrutiny
- ●Contracts you can send the same day, confidently
- ●Fewer expensive surprises at the term-sheet stage
How we work
- 01
Diagnostic
We audit what exists — incorporation, contracts, ESOP, cap table, board records — and list what's missing.
- 02
Rebuild
We rebuild the priority documents first, starting with anything an investor would ask for in week one.
- 03
Operating rhythm
A monthly review, a quarterly board-prep, and on-demand Slack for the hairy questions.
Answers to the questions we hear most.
