FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Do I need a lawyer to incorporate in Hong Kong?

Incorporation itself is straightforward, but the documents investors care about — founder vesting, IP assignment and the shareholders' agreement — are where early mistakes get expensive. We scope incorporation as a fixed-fee package that includes them from day one.

What does a SAFE or convertible note round cost in legal fees?

Less than most founders expect if documents start from market-standard terms. Share a summary of your round and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can you act as our ongoing legal counsel without a full-time hire?

Yes. Our fractional in-house counsel service embeds a senior lawyer in your business at a fixed monthly fee, covering contracts, compliance and day-to-day questions.

We are a small business, not a venture-backed startup. Is this for us?

Yes. The same fixed-fee structure covers contracts, employment and shareholder matters for owner-managed businesses.
