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 business and legal preparedness. Depending on the company’s specific needs, 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.

Our services for this industry 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
• drafting of corporate resolutions
• protecting intellectual property
• 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, SaaS, game technology, AI, life sciences and health technology as well as energy.
