Startups need flexibility to develop products and attract capital, but early legal decisions may have long-term effects on ownership rights, fundraising capacity and exit strategies. Shareholding structures, intellectual property rights and governance mechanisms are often key issues.
HM&P advises founders, startups, angel investors and venture capital funds on company establishment, capital structures, shareholders' agreements, preferential rights mechanisms, ESOPs, intellectual property protection and fundraising rounds. We assist with legal due diligence, negotiation of investment documents, assessment of foreign investment conditions and compliance issues associated with business models.
HM&P aims to develop legal solutions that both protect the interests of the parties and suit the pace of startup development. The value of our advice lies not only in completing a funding round but also in establishing a sufficiently robust governance foundation for subsequent stages of growth.
