Ramsey T.
My clients are often small and medium size technology companies, from the "idea" stage to clients who may have raised a round or three of capital and need to clean up a messy cap table. I help with all legal matters related to growth that keep founders up at night - hiring people, allocating equity, dealing with shareholders and investors, client negotiations and early litigation counseling (before you need a litigator). I've seen a lot, and because I run my own business, I understand the concerns that keep you up at night. I’ve been through, both on my own and through other clients, the “teething” pains that will inevitably arise as you scale-up – and I’m here to help you. I have over 20 years international experience devising and implementing robust corporate legal strategies and governance for large multinationals. I now focus on start-ups and early/medium stage technology companies to enable a sound legal foundation for your successful business operations. Many of my clients are international with US based holding companies or presences. My 17 years abroad helps me "translate" between different regimes and even enabling Civil and Common Law lawyers to come together. Regularly, I handle early stage financings including Convertible Notes, Seed and Series A/B financings; commercial and technology contracts; international transactions; tax; mergers and acquisitions.
"Great communication via multiple media; quick to respond once actual communication channel was open; did exactly what he said he would do (in this instance, quicker than he said that he would be able to); knowledgeable; personable"

Common Stock Purchase Agreement
Texas
What are the key provisions to include in a Common Stock Purchase Agreement?
I am in the process of negotiating a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with a potential investor for my startup, and I would like to understand the essential provisions that should be included in the agreement to protect both parties' interests, such as the purchase price, number of shares, representations and warranties, conditions precedent, and any restrictions on transferability or voting rights.
Darryl S.
The specific terms (such as whether to give any voting or veto rights for example) will depend on factors like your company's stage, the investor's sophistication level, and the investment amount or percentage of the company the investor is acquiring. Consider having experienced counsel review the agreement, as the long-term implications of certain provisions can significantly impact your company's future governance, ability to raise funds and options to bring on other investors or key employees. Early stage companies often have significant restrictions on transferability of the stock, a ROFR clause and claw-back options. The provisions you mention are also required as they are core to the business terms. Hope this is helpful. The classic lawyer answer is "It depends" and that is true here.

Stock Purchase Agreement
Washington
Stock purchase agreement and termination rights?
I am currently a shareholder in a startup company and I am looking to purchase additional stock in the company. I am concerned about the termination rights associated with the stock purchase agreement, as I want to ensure that I am protected in the event of a dispute or termination of the agreement. I am looking for advice from a lawyer to ensure that my rights and interests are protected.
Merry K.
You can submit a request for a review through ContractsCounsel and WA State attorneys will bid on your job. You can also find WA State attorneys through wsba.org. I'm not able to review this kind of agreement myself, but my words of advice are to not put all your investment eggs in one basket - diversify your investments into real estate, stable and secure stock, etc. Too many people put all their money into the company they work for, and lose everything when their company goes bankrupt.

SAFE Note
Connecticut
When to use a SAFE Note?
I am a small business owner looking to raise funds for my business. I have been exploring different financing options, and I have recently come across SAFE Notes. I'm not sure when to use a SAFE Note, and how it could benefit my business. I am hoping to learn more about how SAFE Notes work and when they should be used.
Thomas L.
SAFEs are used by growth capital technology startups who are planning to sell multiple rounds of preferred stock to investors. A SAFE is a stock warrant, meaning, the pre-purchase of a later issuance of stock. If you are planning to sell multiple rounds of preferred stock to investors, then a SAFE is a quick way to raise smaller amounts of capital in advance of selling a big preferred stock round.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
