Raise the round
without signing away the exit.
Investors price every clause. Most founders don't. We sit on your side of the table, from the first term sheet to money in the bank, and negotiate terms that fit the outcome you're actually building toward.
Indicative guidance is free. Deal work is scoped and priced before it starts.
The problem
A bad term today
doesn't hurt today.
It hurts at the exit.
A term sheet can look generous and standard-looking while 2x liquidation preferences or drag along clause that leave you at the back seat hiding in plain sight.
Here's the thing:
by the time you feel a bad term, it's years too late to fix it and you leave the company empty handed. The business is yours and the investment terms should let you enjoy the proceeds of your sweat and tears.
The free checklist
The Term Sheet Red-Flag Checklist
The clauses that cost founders at exit, in plain language: what each one means, when it's market-standard, and when it's a trap. Drop your email and it's yours.
On its way. If you're mid-negotiation and want a second pair of eyes on your term sheet, just reply to the email.
The checklist is general information, not legal advice. Reading your term sheet is a lawyer's paid work.
What's covered
From first term sheet
to money in the bank.
The checklist shows you what to look for. Here's what we do when it's your round on the table.
Term sheet negotiation
We represent you from the first draft: what's market, what's negotiable, what to trade and what to never give up. You stay in the room; we make sure you understand every line before you agree to it.
Due diligence
We prepare your data room and clean up what diligence will surface (cap table, contracts, IP ownership, employment) before the investor's lawyers find it for you.
SHA / SSA drafting & negotiation
The term sheet is the handshake; the shareholders' agreement and share subscription agreement are the deal. We draft and negotiate the documents that actually govern your company after the money lands.
Closing the round
Conditions precedent, closing documents, filings, funds flow. We run the mechanics so the round closes the way it was negotiated.
Who's behind it
A Thai-licensed lawyer
who sits on the founder's side of the table.
CorpJurist is run by a Thai-licensed lawyer with 14 years of practice who understands the founder's mindset and the outcome you're building toward. The deal work (term sheets, diligence, definitive documents, closing) is handled by the lawyer himself, because that is where judgment earns its keep.
Plans
Scoped work,
with the price clear before it starts.
Deal work is quoted by the stage and complexity of the round before we start. No hourly meter running quietly in the background.
FAQ
Common questions
Do I need a lawyer before the term sheet is signed?
That's exactly when you need one. Most of the economics get locked at term-sheet stage; the "definitive documents" mostly implement what the term sheet already decided. Getting advice after signing is damage limitation, not negotiation.
What's the difference between the SHA and the SSA?
The SSA governs the purchase itself: how many shares, at what price, on what conditions. The SHA governs life after the investment: board seats, reserved matters, transfer restrictions, what happens when someone leaves or the company sells. Founders feel the SHA every week; the SSA mostly on closing day.
The investor says their documents are "standard." Are they?
Sometimes. "Standard" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. There's a market range for every term, and where you land in it is negotiation, not standardisation. We'll tell you plainly which asks are normal and which aren't.
What does this cost?
Scoped and quoted before we start, based on the stage and complexity of the round. No hourly meter running quietly in the background.
