We understand the challenges of starting up and scaling up a new business. Matters related to the ownership of technology and the protection of the startup’s competitive edge are essential in securing the startup’s value and business.

A startup’s ability to secure an investment depends on its legal and business preparedness. We provide legal services and hands-on guidance for startups in their different maturity phases starting from the initial establishment of the company through financing rounds and exits and growing into multimillion companies. Depending on the company’s specific needs, our services include formalizing the relationship between the shareholders through a shareholders’ agreement, preparing the company’s first agreements (clients, privacy, general terms, etc.), drafting of option plans, and counseling on fundraising and investments. We also advise various private equity and venture capital funds when they invest in or exit from startup companies.

Our team has deep insight into the Finnish and Nordic startup ecosystem combined with our years of expertise from different industries such as ICT, game technology, AI, life sciences and health technology as well as energy.
