FAQ
Do I need a lawyer to incorporate in Hong Kong?
Incorporation itself is straightforward. The documents investors care about, founder vesting, IP assignment and the shareholders' agreement, are where early mistakes get expensive. We scope incorporation as a fixed-fee package that includes them from day one.
What does a SAFE or convertible note round cost in legal fees?
It depends on the round's structure and how far the documents move from market-standard terms. Share a summary of your round and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Can you act as our ongoing legal counsel without a full-time hire?
Yes. Our fractional in-house counsel service embeds a senior lawyer in your business at a fixed monthly fee, covering contracts, compliance and day-to-day questions.
We are a small business, not a venture-backed startup. Is this for us?
Yes. The same fixed-fee structure covers contracts, employment and shareholder matters for owner-managed businesses.
