Let’s Be Smart About Legal.
You’re building something exciting. You move fast. You know that AI can help, but it doesn’t magically make legal risk disappear. And you definitely know that “we’ll fix the legal later” are famous last words. The problem? Legal wants cash, and startups usually don’t have much of it.
No liquidity. No problem.
We work with founders who’d rather spend their runway on growth than on panic later. If cash is tight, we’re open to equity-based deals.
From incorporation and cap tables to IP, contracts, and compliance, we help you put real legal foundations in place — without slowing you down or drowning you in PDFs. No rigid packages. No Big Law energy. No 40-page memos no one asked for. We adapt to your stage, your speed, and your ambition. We speak founder, not Latin.

How does it work?

Frequently asked questions
How can a law firm work with our startup in exchange for sweat equity instead of cash fees?
We provide ongoing legal support and strategic counsel to early-stage startups and, instead of traditional billing during an initial stage (as agreed with each client on an individual basis), we take a minority equity stake. This aligns our incentives with yours: we invest our time, expertise, and network into helping your company grow, and we only succeed when you do.
This model is especially helpful for founders who have strong ideas and momentum but want to preserve cash during the earliest stages.

What kind of legal support do we receive under a sweat equity arrangement?
You receive comprehensive legal support typically needed in the early life of a startup, including:
• Company formation and structuring under Swedish law
• Ownership structure
• Shareholder agreements and incentives for key employees
• Employment agreements, consultancy agreements, and other commercial agreements
• Investor readiness and term sheet review
• Support during fundraising and negotiations

Does every startup qualify for a sweat equity option?
No. We make a careful, case-by-case assessment before entering into any sweat equity partnership.
We evaluate the strength of the idea, the commitment of the founding team, the scalability of the business model, and the company’s long-term potential. Sweat equity is a true partnership, and we only enter into it when we believe we can meaningfully contribute to, and share in, your future success.
If we determine that a sweat equity model is not the right fit, we can always agree on alternative fee structures tailored to your budget and priorities.

• Your company’s potential and roadmap
Everything is documented clearly in a formal agreement compliant with Swedish corporate law, ensuring fairness for both founders and future investors.

Will investors be comfortable with a law firm as a shareholder?
Yes — in fact, it often strengthens your credibility.

• A law firm is already actively involved and aligned with the company
• Key legal risks have been managed early
• Governance and documentation are investor-ready
