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.

Preguntas para hacer
Haz estas preguntas en cualquier consulta inicial para separar rápidamente a los candidatos fuertes de los débiles.
1.Have you formed companies in my target jurisdiction with my entity type before, and what are the most common complications?
Por qué es importante: 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?
Por qué es importante: 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?
Por qué es importante: 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.
