Legal services for startups, growing businesses and investors under Swiss and U.S. law
Financing rounds, expansion or everyday legal matters – we help you master any legal challenges you may encounter while launching, running or investing in a startup.
Our Services
We counsel startups in all stages of development to help them overcome their legal challenges under Swiss and U.S. law. We also assist angels, venture capitalists and corporate venture funds, and advise them on their legal setup and portfolio investments.
To help you navigate the wide range of our services and find the relevant information faster, tell us: Are you a startup founder or an investor?
About Us
We are a small tech-savvy team with a big network of local and international partners.
With our in-depth know-how in industries such as FinTech, IT, drones, blockchain, real estate and clean energy, we help startups and investors from Switzerland and the USA master their legal challenges.
There’s one thing we don’t do, though: Speak legalese. We’ll explain the documents and the legal matters to you in plain language and will always keep you in the loop.
Need to move fast? We can keep up! We are based in Switzerland, but we are wherever you are. We use video calls to keep the communication fast and flexible and hold most of our meetings remotely. If getting together in person feels like a better option, we are also happy to meet you at your Swiss office or at another convenient location.
