StartUp

Mission Start-up Handholding

India has seen unprecedented growth in entrepreneurship in the past few years. This growth has been triggered by various factors including governmental policies, due recognition of the startup ecosystem, and the availability of good quality mentoring and required finances. Further, incubators and accelerators have also provided stable structures for the spread of this ecosystem. Kothari & Jain; “KJL” has been working in the startup ecosystem by consulting start-ups and working with incubators and accelerators to support emerging companies and motivated entrepreneurs. Young entities and entrepreneurs should have the benefit of having access to high-quality mentoring, advisory, and guidance covering the entire spectrum of their businesses.  Founders of businesses should ideally focus their time and energy on innovation as opposed to managing and fixing legal and compliance issues.

Mission Startup Handholding, KJL’s start-up initiative, has been created keeping this agenda in mind. Going beyond legal services and support, KJL would also facilitate the creation of an ecosystem to support start-ups to access quality advisory and mentorship in areas other than law.

Start-up Kit

As a premier law firm, we believe that it is our duty to support the spirit of entrepreneurship and protect the rights of start-up founders. From our past experiences, simple but engaging conversations with start-ups have helped unfold and iron out several messy creases involving basic business structures and contractual rights of the stakeholders. Our Start-up kit will begin with involved engagement, discussions, and providing clarifications. Additionally, KJL will make available to any start-up through a simple registration process, a document kit of templates that can be customised according to the requirements of the start-up.

The Experts

A team of professionals with Legal, Finance, and Secretarial background and are associated with the firm have been co-opted as part of Mission Start-up Handholding. These professionals have adequate experience and knowledge of working with startups and addressing all legal and compliance issues involving a startup. 

The team comprises of professionals who are passionate about entrepreneurship and take the effort in going the extra mile to provide support and appropriate legal advice to a client. KJL also offers a vast network of resources and industry contacts that we are happy to leverage for our startup clients.

The Engagement

We understand that the economics involved in servicing a start-up will be very different from what we do as a law firm in the usual course. We understand this reality. Initially, much of our support to start-ups will be a combination of free, discounted cost and deferred fee arrangements. Recognising that this is also KJL’s initiative to return our bit to the ecosystem, our commercial engagements will be transparent. Being entrenched in the start-up ecosystem, KJL will also provide very reliable connections to persons providing services to start-ups.
