Startup Lawyerswith expert lawyers

A startup lawyer is a business lawyer who focuses on helping startups with their legal needs. This can differ from the needs of an established business, as startups are often in their early stages and may need a range of legal documents to help manage the risks involved in getting a business off the ground.

We communicate with our clients by email, phone or video call to help them find exactly what they need for their business. As startup lawyers, we can be flexible to suit your business’s requirements.

Unlike many traditional law firms, we also don’t bill by the hour. That means you’ll know what to expect from the start, with no surprise bill at the end.

Our legal team is made up of experienced commercial lawyers with strong backgrounds in contracts, privacy, employment, intellectual property, corporate and general business law. For Sprintlaw NZ, legal services are provided by Australian- and UK-qualified lawyers who are familiar with the New Zealand legal requirements relevant to the business matters we support.

After you submit your enquiry, one of our legal consultants will review it within 1 business day and get in touch to better understand what you’re looking for.

Your legal consultant will then send you an email with more information about the services you need, along with a fixed-fee quote setting out the costs, scope of the service and timing.

If you’re happy with the scope, you can accept and sign our engagement letter online. Once you’ve formally accepted, we’ll connect you with a specialist lawyer who will work with you to complete your project. They’ll contact you by email or phone if needed.

A startup lawyer can help with the legal issues that often come up as your business develops. This may include choosing the right business structure, preparing founder agreements, reviewing customer or supplier contracts, protecting intellectual property, helping with website terms and privacy documents, and advising on capital raising or investment documents.

The right support will depend on your stage, industry and growth plans, so it can be helpful to get advice that is tailored to your startup rather than relying on generic templates.
