Starting a company is an exciting but challenging endeavor. As a startup founder, you’re focused on innovation, growth, and getting your business off the ground. But there’s another side of the entrepreneurial journey that’s just as crucial: the legal framework that supports your business.
At Momentus Legal, we’ve built a strong team of attorneys with a deep understanding of the unique needs of startups and early-stage companies. We’re not just lawyers—we’re partners in your success, helping you navigate legal complexities so you can focus on scaling your business. Here are some key areas where we can assist:
1. Entity Formation
The foundation of any business is choosing the right entity. Whether it’s forming an LLC, a corporation, or another structure, we help you select the best option for your business goals, ensuring tax efficiency, liability protection, and compliance with state and federal regulations.
2. Fundraising – VC/PE Financing, SAFEs, Convertible Notes, and More
Raising capital is often one of the biggest hurdles for startups. We provide guidance on a variety of financing options, including venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) financing, SAFEs (Simple Agreements for Future Equity), and convertible notes. Each funding mechanism has its advantages, and we help you determine the best fit for your company’s stage and goals.
3. Outsourced General Counsel Services
Startups often don’t need or can’t afford a full-time in-house legal team. That’s where our outsourced general counsel services come in. We offer ongoing legal support tailored to your needs, handling everything from routine corporate matters to complex legal issues, on a flexible basis.
4. Intellectual Property (IP) Protection
Your ideas are your business’s lifeblood. Protecting your intellectual property is vital for long-term success. We provide IP protection services, including trademark and copyright registration, as well as strategic guidance on safeguarding your trade secrets and proprietary information.
5. Drafting Company Forms and Agreements
Clear, well-drafted contracts are essential for any startup. From employment agreements to customer contracts, we ensure your business is protected by drafting company forms and agreements that are thorough and tailored to your specific needs.
6. Compliance and Regulatory Guidance
Regulatory compliance can be overwhelming, especially in industries with complex or evolving laws. We provide guidance on compliance with industry regulations, helping you avoid potential legal pitfalls that could harm your business.
7. Employment Law
As your startup grows, so will your team. From employment agreements to managing contractor relationships, we help you navigate the complexities of employment law and ensure that your business complies with all relevant labor regulations.
8. Mergers and Acquisitions
Mergers, acquisitions, and exits are pivotal moments for any business. Whether you’re acquiring another company or selling your own, our team provides comprehensive legal support to ensure smooth transitions, minimize risks, and maximize value.
9. Dispute Resolution and Litigation
No one wants to end up in court, but disputes are sometimes unavoidable. If litigation arises, we’re here to represent your interests with the experience and determination necessary to achieve favorable outcomes. We also explore alternative dispute resolution options like mediation or arbitration when appropriate.
