Omnus Law's Startups & Emerging Companies practice counsels founders building from the ground up, from entity formation and equity structuring through venture financing and the path to scale. The decisions a company makes in its earliest days shape every round, every hire, and every exit that follows, and the practice helps founders get that foundation right so growth never has to wait on cleaning up the past.
Type of work: Entity selection and formation. Founder agreements. Equity, governance, and cap table structuring. Seed and venture financing, including SAFEs, convertible notes, and priced rounds structured to fund growth without ceding control. Intellectual property protection from day one. M&A readiness and new-market entry as companies expand.
Clients: Founders and early-stage ventures finding their footing, and emerging companies preparing to raise capital, hire, and scale.
Approach: The practice gives founders the same caliber of counsel that established enterprises rely on. Its attorneys collaborate with the firm's Corporate, Intellectual Property, and AI, Technology and Cybersecurity practices, so a company can keep one legal team from its first entity decision through its growth into a mature business.
