How can we help with Business Counsel?

Bespoke commercial agreements drafted from scratch for your specific deal — scope, risk allocation, and protections tailored by an attorney, not a template.

An attorney reads the contract you've been handed, flags the risks in plain English, and redlines the terms worth pushing back on — before you sign.

Custom-drafted Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) — one-way, mutual, or multi-party. Covers IP carve-outs, return-of-materials, residuals, and injunctive relief. Drafted to your specific deal context, not a template.

Drafting IP licensing agreements for trademarks, patents, copyrights, software, and trade secrets. Exclusive vs non-exclusive, royalty structures, sublicensing, audit rights, and territory provisions tailored to your deal.

Drafting joint venture agreements for contractual JVs, new JV entity formation, and equity participation deals. Covers governance, contributions, profit splits, control mechanics, and exit/buyout provisions.

Drafting employment agreements, contractor agreements, offer letters, severance documents, and equity grant agreements. Tailored to your jurisdiction, role level, and compensation structure.

Review and redlining of existing employment agreements, offer letters, severance terms, restrictive covenants, and equity grants. Identifies risks, suggests negotiation points, and flags non-compete enforceability.

Drafting and review of employee handbooks, HR policies, termination/severance documents, and workplace dispute resolution policies.

Audit of HR practices against applicable labour, wage-hour, anti-discrimination, leave, and worker-classification law. Includes handbook review, EEOC/DOL exposure assessment, and prioritised remediation plan.

Design and document employee equity — ESOP and option plans, grant agreements, vesting schedules, and board approvals done right from the start.

Board composition, governance practices, fiduciary duties, risk assessments, and corporate-secretary support for early-stage to growth-stage companies. Includes D&O insurance review and SOX-equivalent internal controls advisory.

Structured review of your company's legal health — IP, contracts, corporate governance, employment, data privacy, and regulatory — delivered as a prioritized risk report with a remediation roadmap.
