Starting a company is exciting, but let’s be real—legal isn’t exactly at the top of your list. And that’s fair. Early-stage startups don’t have the time, money, or capacity to deal with legal complexities every day. But ignoring legal entirely? That’s a recipe for problems down the line.

When you’re just getting started, it’s natural to handle contracts on the fly. You tweak templates, adjust terms here and there, and make do with whatever your customers hand you.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through building a contracting process that keeps deals moving.

Autumn is often a very challenging season - and this year especially. One thing that isn’t changing is our commitment to explaining complex legal constructs in simple terms. Today, we’re talking about another key piece in the fundraising puzzle: board composition clauses.

Companies often use non-solicitation clauses to stop employees from joining competitors or customers. We’re used to assessing these agreements under general contract and labour law. But developments on the EU level bring a fresh perspective: we need to check for compliance with competition rules too.
