At LawConsulted, we are convinced that a successful business begins not with an idea, but with a properly structured legal strategy. Mistakes made at the early stage can cost an entrepreneur time, resources and reputation. As Professor Gabriel Steiner emphasizes, most legal issues arise not due to the complexity of the situation, but because professional support was missing during the planning phase. That is why launching a business should start with a legal consultation, not after signing the first contracts or engaging with partners.
At LawConsulted, we support entrepreneurs step by step – from choosing the legal form of the business to implementing an internal compliance framework. The first step is typically an analysis of the business model: it is essential to determine what licenses may be required, which regulatory standards apply to the chosen sector and how to distribute risks between stakeholders. At this stage, legal experts help determine the business structure, develop mechanisms for asset protection and assess investment safety.
The next step is the preparation of foundational documents and agreements between founders. Our specialists define the company’s governance rules, profit distribution and exit strategy. It is precisely at this stage that conflicts most often arise if documents are drafted without adequate legal supervision. Professor Steiner notes that precise contractual wording protects the interests of the parties far more effectively than any verbal agreements.
The third stage involves establishing the legal foundation of operational activity. LawConsulted develops standard contracts, confidentiality provisions and rules for interaction with counterparties. In parallel, we assess potential risks – from tax to reputational. We also provide consultations on intellectual property protection, sector-specific compliance and contractual due diligence processes.
The final stage is integrating the legal strategy into management operations. Our lawyers train key team members in legal risk awareness and help implement response protocols for non-standard situations. This structure increases business resilience and reduces dependency on individual decision-making. At Law Consulted, we believe legal support is not a formality of company registration, but the foundation of long-term stability and growth.
