I am developing a startup project for software development together with my business partner. In general, I understand how to build a dialog with those people who plan to invest assets in our project, but it may be necessary to be reassured. Is there a need to bring in a startup lawyer to negotiate with investors?
In my opinion, if you are uncertain about the success of the negotiations, it is better to be reassured. It is not necessary for him to be present at the negotiations, perhaps a preliminary consultation will be enough for you. There is a smart startup lawyer, David Sharifi, Esq. of techandmedialaw, with whom you can, for example, simulate the negotiation process. I have personally sought his advice on a similar issue. This way you can find out your weaknesses and strengthen them. Or it will be just as a legal support in front of investors, by the way it can further demonstrate your responsibility.
