WHO WE WORK WITH
Most early-stage startups don't need a big law firm. They need a sharp, responsive attorney who understands the startup environment, charges fair rates, and gives them straight answers — not a 20-page memo covering every possible risk.
Bound Legal works with seed through Series B companies in tech and adjacent markets.
WHAT WE HANDLE
-
Commercial Contracts (Customer and vendor agreements, enterprise deals, licensing, NDAs, and partnership structures).
-
General Counsel (Day-to-day legal and strategic advice across all functions — a trusted partner as you scale).
-
Corporate (Entity formation, equity management, governance, board matters, and capital-raising support).
-
Employment (Offer letters, equity plans, handbooks, commission structures, and compliance guidance).
-
Data Privacy (CCPA, GDPR, data breach processes, and privacy frameworks built for your product).
-
Advertising & Marketing (FTC compliance, influencer agreements, sweepstakes, and social media policies).
HOW IT WORKS
Engagements are available as a monthly retainer (flat-fee general counsel service) or hourly billing.
Specialty matters outside Bound Legal's scope — tax, litigation, patent prosecution, immigration — are project-managed through trusted referral relationships.​
