Guest blog by Helium Law, in partnership with Caroola

Running a business means juggling a lot, and let’s be honest, “legal” isn’t the hat most founders want to wear.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Helium Law – a small, friendly team of solicitors and paralegals who keep the legal side clear, practical, and affordable, so you can get back to building your business.

We asked the team at Helium Law to share five of the main ways they help business owners with their legal requirements. Here’s what they had to say.

1. Sweat equity that makes sense
Rewarding early joiners with shares? Helium Law will create employment or consultancy agreements with clear delivery terms, vesting schedules, performance targets and IP protection – so everyone knows where they stand.

2. Shareholder harmony and protection
Helium Law will draft shareholder agreements that protect minority rights, give majority shareholders the required tools, and prevent messy disputes later. Ultimately, they’ll help you and your shareholders keep the peace and prepare for the future.

3. Early-stage finance made simple
From share options to option schemes, Helium Law will help you bring in talent or investors without creating future headaches.

4. Templates and policies that actually mean something
Helium Law solicitors will draft client contracts, website terms and privacy policies that are all tailored to your business and ready to go. They’ll be 100% compliant, giving you protection if something goes wrong whilst reassuring your clients that they’re in good hands.

5. Negotiation backup

They’ll help you get the best deal possible with customers, suppliers, and partners, protecting your interests without losing the opportunity. They’ve got extensive experience in negotiation, so they’re perfectly placed to help you get the outcome you want, even with limited leverage.

And finally…

Businesses need legal advice that’s quick, clear, and commercial. Not pages of jargon.

With Helium Law, you get a team that’s practical, on your side, and focused on helping you grow. If you’re building something exciting and looking for legal support you can find out more and book a call with Helium Law via MyMarketplace.
