Founder counsel
Direction, pace, and the calls that are hard to make inside the building.
Advisory
Independent perspective. Real outcomes.
A seat beside the people who have to decide. Not a performance after the fact.
Counsel without a costume.
Promoters, founders, and leadership teams use this when the question does not fit a project plan. A challenge before the decision hardens. A rhythm when the questions keep coming.
We will say when the question belongs with a lawyer, a chartered accountant, or a regulated adviser. We do not take a fee to like a deal.
A sounding board
A clear pass over a partnership, a plan, or a raise before you commit.
An advisory rhythm
A regular seat, and a short note when a decision needs writing down.
How the rhythm works
A seat at the table, not a retainer in a drawer.
Advisory is only useful if it shows up before the decision. So we keep a cadence, and we keep it short.
A regular seat
A standing conversation on a cadence that suits the pace of your decisions — closer together when the stakes rise.
Before it hardens
We are asked in while a partnership, a plan, or a raise is still a question, not after it is announced.
A note when it matters
When a decision needs writing down, we write it: the choice, the reasons, and what would change it.
Honest handoffs
When the question belongs with a lawyer, a chartered accountant, or a regulated adviser, we say so and step aside.
Signals
Questions that come to this table.
Some of the conversations that tend not to fit a project plan.
- Should we take this partnership, and on what terms would we walk away?
- Is this the right moment to raise, or the right moment to wait?
- Who should run this next, and how do we make the handover hold?
- The family wants one thing, the business needs another. What now?
A stronger tomorrow
