We provide legal support for Australia’s best founders, startups and scaleups, as well as the venture capital, angel and corporate investors who invest in them.
Nexa Legal is a legal practice that specialises in helping startups, scaleups and other emerging companies grow and scale. We are passionate about helping businesses reach their potential and we act for emerging companies at all stages of growth. Here's how we can help.
Raising capital is one of the key challenges that many founders and emerging companies face. We have deep experience advising companies at all stages of growth on a range of capital raisings, including pre-seed – series C financing rounds involving venture capital and other investors, equity crowdfunding rounds and debt financing rounds.
We provide support on the key commercial arrangements that you face when building a business, including advising on founders' and shareholders' agreements, employee share option plans and commercial agreements with third parties. We offer strategic, practical and commercially focused advice to ensure your business manages legal risk in your contractual and commercial arrangements as it grows.
Scaling a business can be fast paced, but founders and companies need to be aware of the corporate, legal and regulatory obligations that apply to both directors and companies. We help companies navigate these responsibilities so that you can focus on doing what you do best - growing your business.
We advise on M&A transactions including secondary transactions / founder sell-downs, share sale transactions and asset sale transactions. If your business matures to the point where there is opportunity for an M&A transaction, we can steer you through this process.
We advise on employment, contractor and advisor agreements, as well as on employee incentive schemes to help your business attract and retain talent.
We can help you to protect your key intellectual property and brand assets to give you confidence as you grow and scale.
