Founders should trust a lawyer
Especially during the early stages
Mistakes made during the early stages as a founder of a company or a new professional venture are particularly critical, because correcting them later
usually requires significantly more effort than preventing them in the first place. The danger is not only that unnecessary legal disputes — for example due to inadequate
terms and conditions or poorly drafted contracts — can quickly consume all financial reserves during the startup phase, but also the resulting demotivating effect and the
loss of valuable time, which is one of the most important resources at the beginning of a business journey. Legal mistakes that are made early on often continue unnoticed
and tend to become more problematic as the company grows rather than less.
As a founder, available capital is often limited, and naturally many entrepreneurs initially cut costs in areas that are not considered part of the core
business — which frequently includes legal advice from a startup lawyer. I therefore recommend relying on comprehensive legal advice from the very beginning.
Only an experienced lawyer in
corporate law,
commercial law, and
employment/labour law
can help you understand the important legal interrelationships involved in starting a business and make the best legal decisions for your venture. From choosing the right
legal structure to legally compliant contracts and terms & conditions — founders should always rely on a lawyer, especially during the startup phase.

Legal risks for founders
As a lawyer, one often encounters people and their problems that stem from incorrect initial decisions. Suddenly, unexpected issues arise with customers, employees, or even the tax authorities. Standard templates for contracts or terms and conditions that can be downloaded from the internet only cover standard situations. However, the legal framework of your business should be just as individual as your company itself. An experienced startup lawyer ensures legal certainty and helps prevent future problems. If your business successfully survives the challenging start-up phase and continues to grow, you will eventually need ongoing legal support anyway — it is therefore beneficial to already have a trusted lawyer in place.
