FAQ
What does outside counsel cover?
Day-to-day contracts, policy reviews, investor documents, board materials, and quick guidance tied to product and sales. We set expectations for response times and delivery.
How fast are reviews and drafts?
Most contracts are turned within two to three days. Same-day redlines are available when flagged as urgent. Larger projects come with a written schedule.
Can you convert our LLC to a Delaware C-corp?
Yes. We handle the conversion, align founder IP, and fix the cap table and option plan before the next round.
Will you organize the data room?
We provide a checklist, set up the folder structure, and populate the core documents. We also help prepare answers for diligence questions.
Do you negotiate enterprise MSAs?
Yes. We maintain your standard positions, track concessions, and provide fallback language that speeds future deals.
How do you handle privacy for AI products?
We map real data flows, restrict training and model use by contract, align disclosures with behavior, and add opt-outs and deletion flows customers expect.
Can you scale after Series A?
Yes. We can remain outside counsel or support an incoming GC with playbooks and templates.
