Found. Funded.
Protected.

For founders and businesses doing something that carries consequence. A raise, a contract that changes the shape of the business, or the terms you trade on.

Most of it is a document you can buy today.

Shareholders agreements. Employment contracts. NDAs. Terms of service. Founders agreements with the IP assignment already in them. Drafted for South African law, drafted to be used rather than admired, and written so you can read the thing you are signing.

 

If the document solves it, buy the document. At R250 that is cheaper than the email exchange about whether you need a meeting.

Built for people who do the groundwork.

The businesses worth working with tend to share something. They deal with the contract before it is signed rather than after it is disputed. They treat the legal side as part of building the thing, not as a cost that appears once something has already gone wrong.

​

​

​

You are building something you intend to still be running in ten years, and you want a structure that holds that long.

​

 

 

You would rather understand the risk than be shielded from having to think about it.

​

 

 

You move on things early, which is the only reason legal work is ever inexpensive.

​

This is a consultancy, so court work is referred out. The templates are priced to be bought without thinking about it. The counsel is not, and that tends to suit people who have worked out what cheap advice costs.

When it is bigger than a
template.

Some matters do not reduce to a document. A term sheet that needs reading properly. A contract someone else drafted in their own favour. A structure that has to still work when the business is worth ten times what it is today.

That work is done by an admitted attorney with 20 years of post-admission experience, across in-house, forensic compliance and private practice.

Start with a 15-minute fit call. Fifteen minutes is not enough time for legal advice and I will not pretend otherwise. It is enough to establish whether this is work we should take on, what it would involve, and what it costs. If a template solves it, we will say so.
