Solving growth stage challenges

The growth stage is a critical time for your startup. You’re scaling operations, signing key contracts, securing funding and building a strong team. But legal hurdles can slow you down.

At California Counsel Group, we understand the unique challenges that growth stage startups face. Our team of experienced lawyers – many of them startup founders, investors and business advisors themselves – provide the guidance that entrepreneurs need to avoid common pitfalls and take their business to the next level.

We work closely with you to develop a practical legal strategy for your startup’s growth and needs, ensuring your corporate legal affairs are organized to support your goals.

Equity Compensation Plans: Attracting and retaining top talent is crucial. We help you design effective equity compensation plans that allow you to issue stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs) and other types of equity awards, in order to compensate and incentivize your team and align their interests with your startup. Our guidance will allow you to efficiently determine the right grant size and vesting terms for each equity award.
Contracts for Your Team: As you build your team with employees, advisory board members and consultants, we will help you document these important relationships and provide guidance to help you offer the right terms.
Startup Growth: Gain guidance on how to structure, negotiate and document new business deals, strategic and venture financings and partnerships to optimize success.
SaaS Agreements: Your SaaS agreements and other licensing contracts are the foundation of your business model. We ensure your contracts are ironclad, protecting your intellectual property (IP) and revenue streams.
IP Licensing: Your IP is your startup’s most valuable asset. We help you navigate and negotiate the complexities of IP licensing to maximize its value and protect your innovations.
Technology Transactions: Growth often involves strategic partnerships and key commercial relationships. We guide you through complex technology transactions to ensure favorable terms and minimize risk.
Biotechnology Transactions: Your biotech startup will require development, clinical research, material transfer and other agreements to support and advance your research and development. We help you negotiate, document and close these relationships quickly and cost effectively.

We help you stay organized and prepared for key transactions in the future, whether your company is headed towards additional funding, key strategic commercial relationships or an eventual company sale.
