MLT Aikins is pleased to announce the launch of the Startup Advantage Program, a new initiative designed to provide early-stage companies with cost-effective access to strategic advice, scalable solutions and a solid legal foundation.
Developed with the needs of startups in mind, the Startup Advantage Program offers fixed-fee legal packages tailored to help entrepreneurs incorporate and organize their businesses, implement founder vesting arrangements, protect and assign intellectual property, hire employees and contractors, adopt stock option plans, negotiate shareholder agreements, and prepare privacy and commercial agreements. The program also positions companies to be diligence-ready for future financings, whether raising from friends and family, angels or venture capital funds through SAFEs, convertible notes, common share financings or a preferred share priced round.
“Too often, early-stage companies don’t get the legal support they need until it’s too late,” said Riley Graydon, MLT Aikins lawyer and Startup Advantage Program Lead. “Startup Advantage is designed to meet founders where they are, providing practical, future-oriented guidance from day one so they can build with confidence and be ready for what’s next.”
What startups can expect:
- Predictability – Fixed-fee pricing ensures no unexpected legal costs or surprise bills.
- Flexibility – Businesses can access packages in any order, at any time, based on their current needs and growth stage.
- Reliability – Our legal team helps startups navigate complex legal terrain and avoid common pitfalls, so founders can focus on building their business.
“Great companies are built on strong foundations,” notes Graydon. “Through Startup Advantage, we give founders the right legal structure early and at a predictable cost, so they can keep their focus on building, scaling and attracting investment rather than on legal friction.”
