WHAT FUNDRAISING CONTRACT SERVICES CAN WE HELP YOU WITH?
Our team understands startups, venture capital, and the commercial dynamics that drive investment decisions. Navigate every stage of your fundraise with confidence through our comprehensive legal services:
Term Sheets
The term sheet sets the tone for the entire deal. We draft, review, and negotiate term sheets that clearly define valuation, equity, governance rights, and key deal conditions — ensuring you fully understand what you are agreeing to before negotiations progress. Whether you are an investor setting terms or a founder evaluating an offer, we make sure the sheet reflects your best interests before anything is signed.
Investment Agreements
The investment agreement is the legally binding document that formalises the relationship between investor and investee. We draft and review comprehensive investment agreements that cover capital contribution, equity allocation, representations and warranties, conditions precedent, and investor rights — leaving no ambiguity on either side of the table.
SAFE & Convertible
Notes SAFEs and convertible notes are popular instruments for early-stage fundraising — but their simplicity on the surface masks significant legal and financial implications. We draft, review, and negotiate these instruments with a sharp eye on conversion mechanics, valuation caps, discount rates, and pro-rata rights, ensuring the terms work in your favour when conversion eventually occurs.
Shareholder Agreements
A shareholder agreement governs the relationship between all shareholders of a company — and getting it right from the start prevents costly disputes down the line. We draft and negotiate shareholder agreements that address voting rights, dividend policies, transfer restrictions, tag-along and drag-along rights, anti-dilution protections, and exit mechanisms — giving every party clarity and legal protection from day one.
Due Diligence Support
Due diligence is where deals are made or broken. We support both investors conducting due diligence and investees preparing for it — reviewing corporate records, contracts, IP ownership, regulatory compliance, and financial documentation to surface risks early and ensure nothing derails your deal at the final stage.

Yes — and the earlier, the better. Legal mistakes made at the term sheet or early agreement stage can have lasting consequences on equity, control, and future fundraising rounds. Having experienced legal counsel from the start ensures you enter every stage of the deal fully informed and protected.
Both are instruments used to raise capital before a priced round, but they differ in structure. A convertible note is a debt instrument that converts to equity at a future round, typically carrying an interest rate and maturity date. A SAFE is not a debt instrument — it is an agreement to receive equity at a future event, without interest or a repayment obligation. Each has distinct implications, and the right choice depends on your specific situation.
Yes — we work with both sides of the table, though never simultaneously in the same transaction. Whether you are raising capital or deploying it, we bring the same level of expertise and commercial understanding to protect your specific interests.
Key areas to scrutinise include valuation and dilution, liquidation preferences, anti-dilution provisions, board composition, vesting schedules, and any exclusivity or no-shop clauses. Our attorneys walk you through every term so you understand the full implications before negotiations move forward.
A well-drafted shareholder agreement is your first line of defence—it sets out the process for resolving disputes, exercising rights, and handling exits. If disputes escalate despite this, our litigation team is equipped to represent your interests and pursue the best possible resolution.
