I will review and draft your safe, term sheet or shareholders agreement

I am a qualified corporate lawyer with over six years' experience on venture and private transactions at international law firms, working on share subscription and shareholders' agreements, share purchase agreements, convertible instruments and cross-border investment structures, alongside an in-house secondment with a global medical devices company.

Investment documents are where founders lose value quietly. The consequences sit in the liquidation preference and whether it participates, the anti-dilution formula, the valuation cap and discount interacting on a SAFE, board composition and reserved matters, drag-along and tag-along thresholds, transfer restrictions, and pre-emptive rights that determine whether you retain any control at the next round. A founder who signs a participating preference with a full-ratchet adjustment has given away far more than the cap table suggests, and usually did not know it at signature.

My review explains what each provision actually does to you in the scenarios that matter a down round, an early exit, a co-founder departure proposes the wording to change it, and tells you candidly which points investors will concede and which they will not.
