When you’re raising money, the lawyer you choose can make or break the deal.
You don’t want a lawyer who treats your transaction like a divorce case—running up fees, stirring the pot, and turning a simple deal into an expensive mess. That’s how good relationships get destroyed and good deals fall apart.
But here’s the trap:
After a bad experience, many people try to play lawyer themselves. They start negotiating terms on paper, guessing at legal language, and hoping it all works out. That usually makes things worse.
What you want instead is a deal-maker lawyer:
• Someone who understands business, not just legal theory
• Someone affordable and efficient
• Someone who knows the relationship matters after the deal closes
• Someone who helps move the deal forward, not slow it down
A bad contract can turn a good deal into a disaster.
A good contract makes a good deal even better.
Paperwork matters. Structure matters. And having the right lawyer is not optional when money is on the line.
