THE LEXR STANDARD LEGAL GUIDE FOR SWISS STARTUPS

7min


WHY YOU NEED THIS LEGAL GUIDE

We have worked with 1'000+ tech companies. We know what works, and what doesn't.

With this guide, we show you how successful startups solve legal, and which
deadly legal mistakes to avoid.


WHAT YOU GET

This guide is 100% free so you can do legal right from the start without
breaking the bank. You get:

 * 📜 Templates: Get best practice legal documents for free, and easily tailored
   to your needs with our LEXR Bridge document generator.
 * ✔ Checklists: The biggest risks are the ones you are not aware of. Make sure
   you haven't missed anything.
 * 💡 Frameworks: Simplify your legal life with frameworks to make it as easy as
   possible for non-lawyers to navigate the law.


WHO THIS GUIDE IS FOR

There are nuggets of wisdom for anyone that works for or invests in tech
companies. Find out more in our Guidance for... section.

 * 😎 Founders, entrepreneurs, and startup employees can use this guide to
   understand the legal basics of their role and make sure they follow best
   practices.
 * 🤑 Investors, be it angel investors, VCs, or crowdinvestors, can use this
   guide and especially the checklists to know what to look for in a legal due
   diligence.
 * 👔 Board members can use this guide to ensure their companies have checked
   all the legal boxes and mitigate personal liability risks.


HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

There are a few important concepts and frameworks you need to understand to make
effective use of this guide:

 * The LEXR Standard: This is like a ISO-certification for legal. Check all
   the LEXR Standard boxes to follow best practices, and get certified to show
   the world (and especially investors) that you have your legal structure under
   control.
 * The C-RICH framework: We created a simple framework to categorize legal
   topics. All legal content is structured around C-RICH, which stands for the
   following five legal areas you need to cover:
    * Corporate - the money and power structure
    * Regulatory - the limits imposed by the government
    * Intellectual property (IP) - your ideas, code, content, designs, brand,
      and inventions
    * Contracts - your relationship with customers, partners, and suppliers
    * HR - your people

 * The legal solution framework: Legal problems are mostly risk management
   problems. Understand how to solve legal problems effectively with our legal
   solutions framework.
 * The legal ops & tech stack: Technology is your friend to efficiently tackle
   legal operations. Know how to structure your legal operations and which
   technology we recommend to keep your legal house in order.



Besides these frameworks, please note:

 * Disclaimer & limitations, terms, and privacy policy: Every startup is
   different. This guide probably covers 80% of legal topics for 80% of
   startups, and there is always the exception. This guide cannot replace expert
   legal counsel. Use common sense and book a free call with one of our legal
   experts when unsure.
 * License terms: We have spent endless hours to create this guide. Use it and
   enjoy it for your own business, but don't re-sell it or re-distribute it
   without our consent!
 * Feedback: We love FEEDBACK! Comment on a section or write us at
   contact@lexr.com to let us know what you think!
