Strartups
As part of legal support for start-ups, we carry out a legal analysis of the business owner's current business model. As part of the audit, A4 lawyers will identify friendly jurisdictions for project development. Our clients are both business owners and investors interested in protection of their assets.
A key issue for start-up companies is the fate of their assets. A4 lawyers have extensive experience in dividing and structuring project assets; creating an investment-attractive business model; tax structuring.
For start-up project owners and investors we can be helpful in such matters as drafting a shareholders agreement,option agreement, investment agreement, a legal opinion on the lawfulness of the chosen business model in a particular jurisdiction, licensing, registration of trademarks, patent applications and others.
