What areas of business law does Sentient Law handle?
We work on a wide range of business law matters, including asset sales, business and equity sales, entity planning and formation, contracts and agreements, deferred compensation plans, dynamic equity agreements, employment agreements and handbooks, alternative dispute resolution clauses, debt and equity instruments such as SAFEs and convertible notes, and policies covering privacy, data use, and remote work.
Does Sentient Law work with startups or established companies?
Both. Unlike firms that focus only on startups or only on large corporations, we work with companies at every stage, from an early idea to an actively fundraising or mature business.
What fee structures does Sentient Law offer?
We offer flexible, affordable fee structures including contingency, hourly, flat fee, equity, and combinations of these, so companies can choose an arrangement that fits their stage and budget.
How is this different from hiring in house counsel?
Sentient Law provides the benefits of in house counsel, including ongoing, responsive legal support, at a fraction of the cost of building an internal legal team.
Do you offer services like a Slicing Pie or dynamic equity agreement?
Yes. We regularly draft dynamic equity agreements, including Slicing Pie based structures, as part of our business law practice.
When should a company get a business lawyer involved?
The earlier the better. Preventive legal guidance on contracts, entity structure, and agreements typically costs far less than resolving a dispute or legal issue after it has already occurred.
