Strategic Counsel for your Business

We structure high-growth businesses from formation through scaling. We handle corporate incorporations, founder share issuances, shareholder agreements, employee stock option plans (ESOPs), and intellectual property assignments. We put clean legal infrastructure in place early to ensure companies are investment-ready.

We represent emerging companies and venture funds in equity, debt, and convertible financings. Our practice covers SAFEs, convertible promissory notes, and institutional priced rounds (Seed to Series B) using CVCA and NVCA documentation. Having operated on both sides of the table as venture counsel and investor, we align cap-table mechanics with long-term control and capital efficiency.

We act as dedicated, on-demand General Counsel for companies that need senior legal oversight without full-time executive overhead. We draft, review, and negotiate enterprise master services agreements (MSAs), software licenses, vendor contracts, and routine board governance. Backed by Y Combinator-alumni GC experience, we prioritize business velocity over billable friction.

We advise private companies, founders, and strategic buyers on domestic and cross-border purchase and sale transactions. Our work covers letter of intent negotiation, due diligence, definitive purchase agreements, and closing execution. We deliver senior Bay Street transaction discipline tailored to mid-market and venture-backed exits.

We counsel companies deploying artificial intelligence on commercial risk, data licensing, IP ownership, and corporate AI usage policies. Through Scopic Legal AI Lab, we also provide clients with secure, zero-data-retention infrastructure to run legal workflows on frontier models without exposing confidential enterprise data.
