Seed & Series Funding Legal

Legal advisory for seed, pre-Series A, Series A, and Series B funding rounds — term sheets through closing.

Overview

Every funding round creates legal obligations that persist through the company's entire lifecycle. Corpus Juris Legal represents founders and early investors through the complete legal lifecycle of funding rounds — term sheet review, SHA negotiation, CCPS documentation, and FEMA compliance for foreign investors.

Key Service Components

  • Term sheet review and founder negotiation coaching
  • SHA drafting and negotiation
  • CCPS / CCCPS / OCPS documentation
  • Investment Agreement drafting
  • Condition precedent satisfaction
  • FC-GPR filing for foreign investment
  • Board constitution post-funding
  • DPIIT Startup recognition and tax exemption

Why This Matters for Your Business

Founders who sign poorly negotiated SHAs face years of governance friction, dilution surprises, and exit complications. The SHA negotiation at Series A sets the tone for every subsequent round.

Our Approach

We advise founders as advocates, not just as drafters. Our review tells founders what matters, what is market-standard, and what they should push back on.
