Startups are exciting, and adrenalin pumping. It’s the hit-word being thrown around in almost every TED talk or tech blog. And if you’re keeping it real, you’d know that for every big success, there are the other nine failures you don’t hear about. You don’t want to be in that crowd.
No matter how big your idea is and how quickly it could escalate into a thriving business, it’s easy to get in over your head. Promising the world but never being able to deliver. You can be left exposed and slip up, allowing a bigger fish to swoop in and steal your vision right from under your nose.
Part of the problem is that when it comes to budgeting for startups, having legal safeguards in place are usually way down the list of priorities. But you’ve just taken your first step in your start-up journey when these measures matter the most! So wise up, pick your head up, and put the crucial legal foundations of your business into place so you’re equipped to rise above the crowd!
At Lazarus Legal, our lawyers have a startup mentality. We enjoy the hustle, we thrive on the process, and we get things done! We’re all about embracing new ideas and new ways of thinking and supporting the visionaries of the future. We’re all about you.
And we’re mindful of your initial capital. We’re focused on providing you with real solid advice without draining your seed funding on legal services. What’s more, we understand your time is precious.

If your head is in the cloud we’ll provide straightforward, clear and concise advice to set you on the right legal course/path. So how does it work? Well it’s quite simple and its obligation free!
