Corporate governance is a cornerstone of our practice. We guide corporate clients and portfolio companies in implementing best practices and maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements, fostering sustainable growth and stability. When it comes to exit strategies, whether through mergers and acquisitions or initial public offerings, we adeptly guide our clients through these transformative events, maximizing value and minimizing risks.

Many of our attorneys have been trained at top-tier law firms, where they honed their skills on high-stakes transactions and complex legal matters. They joined Scale LLP to offer a more efficient and hands-on legal service. Our clients receive personalized attention from senior attorneys, ensuring a higher level of engagement and responsiveness.

Emerging companies face a unique set of legal hurdles that, if left unaddressed, can limit funding options, derail investor confidence or delay exits. From first check to final liquidity event, startup legal decisions carry long-term consequences. Scale LLP helps clients navigate these issues early and effectively.

Founders often make quick equity decisions to attract co-founders, advisors, or employees—only to encounter trouble later. A disorganized cap table, inconsistent vesting terms or undocumented agreements can stall funding or trigger conflict. Scale LLP’s lawyers help clients build clean, investor-ready cap tables, tailored to reflect long-term business goals.

Term sheets that seem standard may contain provisions that shift control away from founders or create friction between investor classes. Scale LLP advises on protective provisions, board structure, voting rights, and liquidation preferences—so clients maintain the right balance of control and flexibility. We also help investors spot red flags in founder-side documentation.
