Need a start-up lawyer?

Got an innovative idea? Have you stumbled upon the next Facebook and are ready to cash in for millions? Wondering what to do next? Before you run out that door to start your new social network speak to LegalVision’s team of experienced start-up lawyers. It may be the smartest conversation you have.

So you have an idea. Making it into a successful product is a tough process. There are a multitude of things you need to consider and the last thing on your mind is legal compliance. Well making your start-up a million dollar idea is all that’s on our mind. So let us take care of all that lousy paper work for you!

Let’s start from the beginning. So what exactly is a start-up? Well it is a phrase used to describe new business ideas with huge potential for growth that are waiting to be developed! They are typically run online and require legal expertise in both intellectual property and social media marketing! Don’t have either of these? Well don’t fret our team is here to help so you can concentrate on making your new idea a success!

So what exactly can our start-up lawyers do for you? Being an online start-up ourselves, LegalVision’s solicitors turn innovative ideas into products every day. Registering a business and creating a copyright, trademark or a patent is a complex process! We can get all of that sorted in no time! Putting your business online? Well LegalVision can help you set up your domain and online payment systems and even create you a website user terms and privacy policy! Thinking about funding? Looking to secure a loan or investors? Have you considered convertible bonds? These are short-term loans given in exchange of labour and expertise. When the loan expires rather than paying the bond holder in money, they will receive a share of the company! Why not discuss the many funding options that are open to you today!

So whether it’s protecting your new idea from the Winklevoss twins or diversifying your assets to a head office in the Cayman Island (just joking let’s keep it all above board) give us a call for a free fixed-fee quote! The first step is always the hardest for every start-up! But remember even Facebook had a day one and we’re here to hold your hand through the whole process. Metaphorically and literarily, if you need it.
