Anirudh Rastogi, Founder
Early generations of tech entrepreneurs will tell from their run-ins with the law that it’s crucial to understand the law and legal best-practices that apply to one’s business: whether structuring founder relationships, investment or business contracts to protecting one’s intellectual property. Legal issues can cost startups and founders money, but sometimes come in the way of survival. We have all heard of stories of founders ousted by investors from their own companies, or consumer startups having to rebrand mid-way because of trademark issues. Seasoned entrepreneurs, therefore scout for law partners who can offer strategic legal advice in line with the business objectives and industry practice.
