Senior ICT law and General Counsel support for startups, scale-ups and SMEs
Contract review, GDPR and AI compliance brought As a Service, without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Every hour a founder, CEO or CTO spends on contracts is an hour not spent on product, customers or marketing. Yet in most start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs they are the ones negotiating the customer contract, reviewing the DPA and working out what the AI Act actually requires. Not by choice, but because there is no one else, without a legal background and usually at the last minute. You know it matters, but you have neither the time nor the expertise for it.
That is the problem CodeCounsel solves: Fortune 500 legal expertise, without the fixed cost of an in-house legal counsel. Built on 25 years of working alongside R&D and sales teams, and as General Counsel in the boardroom. No theory, no stalling, no ‘that can’t be done’, just practical, commercially minded legal support that moves your business forward.
Why CodeCounsel
No two businesses are alike. Backed by years of hands-on experience, your questions are met with actionable solutions: general terms and conditions and template contracts (T&Cs, NDAs, EULAs, SaaS agreements, DPAs, etc.), bespoke agreements and individual negotiations tailored specifically to your company’s risk profile, always with just one goal in mind: how can a business grow, and how can we keep deals moving forward fast within the existing legal framework.
What sets CodeCounsel apart from a traditional law firm? The approach. The value isn’t in knowing the law (any firm has that), it’s in what you get on top of that: years of hands-on experience from inside actual US and EU based tech companies. You will not get a ten-page memo telling you what the law says and what could go wrong. You will not see your contracts being redlined based on textbook knowledge, still leaving you to decide what to actually do.
That’s the gap CodeCounsel closes from being in the room as General Counsel, on the same side of the table as you: experience earned from inside the business, negotiating the deals, carrying the risk and being answerable for whether the business moved forward. You’ll get “here’s what we do, and here’s how we get this contract signed“. It’s the difference between being measured on the outcome, and the memo.
A fractional GC arrangement provides your business with the support it needs without the overhead of a full-time general counsel.
