Founders: We Stand By Your Side to Anticipate Future Fundraising

We strongly believe that a well-structured legal framework established before engaging with investors is crucial for enhancing the credibility of a start-up or scale-up. It also helps alleviate the operational burden on management teams during the fundraising process. Alkeom Avocat assists founders from the earliest stages of their business development by organizing governance structures and implementing appropriate procedures. This proactive approach ensures that the company is fully prepared for fundraising and can quickly seize opportunities as they arise. Our goal is to enable leaders to focus entirely on negotiating terms and managing the ongoing commercial activities when the time comes for raising funds.

A Cross-Disciplinary Approach to Fundraising Operations

Au-delà de notre expertise en droit des sociétés et droit commercial, l’agilité de notre structure nous permet de travailler avec des professionnels aux expertises complémentaires, appropriés pour votre projet (avocats en droit social, droit fiscal, droit de la concurrence, régulation sectorielle, etc.). Nous pouvons alors assurer l’animation et la coordination de l’équipe pluridisciplinaire ainsi constituée, pour proposer à nos clients un accompagnement complet et une gestion de projet cohérente.

In addition to our expertise in corporate and commercial law, the flexibility of our firm enables us to collaborate seamlessly with professionals who have complementary expertise relevant to your project, such as labor law, tax law, competition law, and sector-specific regulations.
