How to Hire a Corporate Attorney for Business Setup
Hire a corporate attorney who has worked with companies at your stage and in your target jurisdiction — an attorney who handles venture-backed Delaware C-corps thinks about equity, dilution, and investor rights very differently from one who forms LLCs for local service businesses. Stage and entity type are the two most important fit factors.

Wie man einen Spezialisten beurteilt
Fragen, die zu stellen sind
Stellen Sie diese Fragen in jeder ersten Konsultation, um schnell starke Kandidaten von schwachen zu unterscheiden.
1.Have you formed companies in my target jurisdiction with my entity type before, and what are the most common complications?
Warum es wichtig ist: Jurisdiction-specific rules matter significantly. Delaware C-corps, California LLCs, and Korean LLCs each have unique governance requirements, and an attorney unfamiliar with your target jurisdiction will miss them.
2.Do you use standard SAFE or convertible note templates, or do you draft custom investment documents?
Warum es wichtig ist: For early-stage companies, standard YC SAFE templates reduce negotiation time, investor friction, and legal cost. Custom documents are justified only when standard terms genuinely do not fit.
3.What is included in your formation package, and what will cost extra?
Warum es wichtig ist: Formation quotes frequently exclude founders agreements, IP assignment agreements, cap table setup, and initial equity grants. Knowing what is out of scope prevents invoice surprises.
