We are aware that Startups may face conflicts with contractors, distributors, investors and other stakeholders, which can often lead to legal recourse. Legal disputes within Startups in their early stages can be detrimental, therefore we are determined to solve these issues through dispute resolution mechanisms such as arbitration, mediation and negotiation methods which are more cost and time effective compared toon-going litigation at courts. Sometimes litigation is inevitable in which case we defend our clients in all types of civil and commercial lawsuits.

Often we provide Startups with discounted rates until a specific amount of work is done, or depending on the likelihood to receive funding in the following months. In unique cases, we are willing to provide services, in exchange for equity in your firm, if we strongly believe in the value proposition of the business and the equity is determined independently.
