Startup Support

We provide legal support services for entrepreneurs and business owners who are looking to launch a business based on new technologies and service ideas, with the aim of “creating a path where no one stumbles.” During the startup phase, when establishing fundamental business structures, there are many situations required legal compliance. Therefore, it is important to make early involvement of legal experts. We provide appropriate legal support tailored to the growth phase of each startup.

(1) Legal compliance investigation and business model review

We confirm the legality of new services, and create and review terms of use, privacy policies and other documents that form the basis of IT services. In particular, we provide practical advice based on prior legal risk analysis in areas where legal regulations are complex, such as AI, healthcare, and finance.

(2) Policy implementation

If a new service does not comply with current laws and regulations, we provide policy recommendations and engage with authorities to promote the development and revision of legal systems. We will also support communication with relevant ministries and industry associations as needed.

(3) Outsourcing of legal functions and in-house legal departments

As your business grows, we provide support for establishing contract management and legal systems until you have sufficient legal personnel in place. Attorneys with corporate legal experience and secondment experience will accompany you, providing practical support and assistance in training internal legal personnel. We can also assist with legal due diligence in preparation for listing.

(4) Fundraising and investment agreements

We provide support for the creation, review, and negotiation of investment agreements (share subscription agreements, shareholders’ agreements, preferred stock terms negotiations, etc.) related to fundraising, which is an important growth stage for startups. We provide practical advice from the perspective of startups in negotiations with VCs, CVCs, and operating companies.

(5) Intellectual property and technology management

We provide support for intellectual property rights and management, which are important for technology development-oriented startups, through patent and trademark application support, trade secret management system development, joint development contract creation, and other services.
