We advise startups on the best practices for corporate governance and help them draft appropriate policies and documentation. 4. Compliance and Risk Advisory: Compliance with laws and regulations is crucial for startups, and we provide guidance on compliance with the relevant laws and regulations, as well as help mitigate any potential risks. 5. Investor Agreements: When it comes to securing investment, having solid investor agreements in place is essential. We draft bespoke agreements that protect the interests of both the startups and their investors. 6. Support through growth: As startups grow and expand their operations, we offer ongoing legal support to ensure that their business remains compliant with the relevant laws and regulations and that their interests are protected. 7.
