Vested exists to accelerate founders.

We are a commercial law practice built for pre-seed and seed-stage companies that need sharp, strategic legal guidance from people who understand what it means to build from zero.

We don’t sit on the side lines. We work beside you - translating risk, structuring deals, tightening governance, and solving the messy early-stage issues that can either fuel growth or cripple it.

Our focus is simple: create value, protect value, and position you for clean future raises.

We’re founders too

Our team has built, grown, and advised companies ourselves. We know the pressures of limited runway, conflicting priorities, and the constant demand to move quickly without blowing up your cap table, your IP position, or your regulatory obligations.

That means our advice is not academic. It is commercial, pragmatic, and calibrated to your next milestone—whether that’s your first paying customer, a safe pre-seed raise, or a full institutional round.

Growth aligned incentives

We offer two pathways:

  1. fixed-fee legal work, or

  2. equity-aligned legal packs.

When we take equity, we do so through products, defined work with a clear scope, ensuring our interests are aligned while still maintaining the highest professional and ethical standards.

Why founders choose us

Because we care about the same thing they do: increasing enterprise value and reducing avoidable risk.

And because we back our work. Not just in words, but through our willingness to take genuine commercial exposure when it makes sense.

With Vested Law, you are not buying hourly units of time. You’re securing a legal partner invested in building something worth owning.

Legal advice that compounds

Founders don’t need 60-page memos. They need clarity. We specialise in structuring decisions that compound over time:

  • Clean incorporations

  • Founder agreements that actually prevent disputes

  • IP structures that protect value and future exits

  • Funding instruments aligned to early-stage realities

  • Governance frameworks investors can trust

  • Regulatory advice that removes friction rather than adds it

Everything is geared toward speed, precision, and protecting long-term upside.

Our philosophy

  • Be in your corner | founders deserve a partner who moves with them, not behind them.

  • Build with intent | early structure determines later success.

  • Treat law as a tool for growth, not a handbrake.
