New Business Launch
We support the launch of in-house new businesses and establishment of new subsidiaries, covering legal risk management, compliance, and accounting.
Coverage Areas (Examples)
We cover a broad range of legal, accounting, and governance topics required during the launch phase of a new business.
Business Design & Legal Clearance
We clear the legal path before launch — model risk, licensing needs — with a bias toward finding the form in which the business can proceed.
Examples： Business model legal risk assessment / Regulatory & licensing requirements check / Industry regulation & entry barrier mapping / Contract scheme design
Incorporation & Structure
We build the corporate vehicle — subsidiaries, JVs, shareholder agreements — designed from day one with future capital policy and exits in mind.
Examples： Subsidiary & JV establishment / Shareholders agreement & JVA design / Intrapreneurship & carve-out structuring / Individual incorporation support
Fundraising & Investment
We support fundraising — capital policy, stock options, investor relations — designing the intertwined legal, tax, and accounting aspects as one.
Examples： Capital policy design / Preferred shares & stock option structuring / VC & angel investor documentation / Government grant & subsidy exploration
Stabilization & Operations
We stabilize operations after launch — budgeting, compliance — building systems in stages before growth outruns them.
Examples： Management accounting & budgeting framework / Contract & partner scheme setup / Compliance framework development / Internal controls for business scaling
Our Strengths
Involved from the Concept Stage
A new venture needs legal, accounting, tax, and governance input at the same time. With all of them covered within the firm from the concept stage, there is no need to find separate advisors and bring them together.
Built for Digital, IT & AI Ventures
In fields where the legal framework is still forming — fintech, SaaS, AI, crypto — the question is how existing law applies to something it never anticipated. We reason from an understanding of the technology and the purpose behind the regulation to work through business models with no precedent.
Capital Policy to Controls — Integrated
From preferred share structuring and stock option tax to post-funding accounting and IPO-ready controls, we scale our support with your growth.
FAQ
Q. Can we consult you at the conceptual stage of a new business?
Yes — we engage from the earliest stages, including legal analysis of business model ideas (regulatory requirements, licensing needs, and entry barrier mapping). You are welcome to start with a spot consultation to ask "Does this business model have any legal issues?"
Q. What procedures are required to establish a subsidiary?
Establishing a subsidiary requires drafting articles of association, notarization at a notary office, and registration filing. In addition, the intercompany transaction structure, transfer pricing tax considerations, and how to incorporate the subsidiary into consolidated financial statements must all be addressed. We provide integrated support across all of these areas.
Q. Can you advise on sector-specific regulations in fintech, AI, or SaaS?
Yes — we advise on regulations in the digital and fintech sectors, including the Payment Services Act (prepaid instruments and fund transfer), the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, the Personal Information Protection Act, and AI-related regulations. Obtaining regulatory clearance before entering a new business is important.
Q. Can you support individual entrepreneurs and those becoming independent?
Yes — we support individuals starting a business or becoming independent, covering company incorporation, legal review of business plans, contract drafting for clients, and tax structure setup. We also handle outsourcing agreement development for freelancers and independent consultants.
Q. What key issues should we address when establishing a joint venture?
In a joint venture, the shareholders' agreement (SHA) often determines the success or failure of the venture. Key terms to design carefully before signing include: voting rights, veto rights, and management authority allocation; deadlock resolution clauses; exit conditions (buy-sell, drag-along, tag-along); and non-compete and confidentiality provisions. We provide comprehensive support, including interest alignment between joint venture parties, as attorneys and CPAs.
Q. What should a startup think about first when designing its capital structure?
The main issues to address at the founding stage are: (1) ownership split among founding shareholders and vesting design; (2) reserving a stock option pool in anticipation of future fundraising and an IPO; (3) timing for introducing preferred shares; and (4) the equity grant structure for employees. Early decisions have significant downstream consequences, so we recommend consulting us as soon as possible.
