Does SeedLegals have actual lawyers?

Yes! We’re not a law firm, but our extremely experienced legal team creates and reviews all the documentation available at SeedLegals. They’re also on-hand to assist with wording, deal points or unforeseen complications as and when needed. We do separately offer a funding round advisory service for larger, more complex rounds.

Does SeedLegals have professional indemnity insurance?

Yes. PII covers claims up to £2 million.

Do you only do seed deals?

No - our automated workflows speed up the back and forth in any funding round. More seed deals take place in the UK than later stage rounds, and our customer data reflects that. But we also support many larger rounds of £1M+ and Series A and beyond.

Do you just have templates?

Our documents are based on BVCA standard model documents, and have been comprehensively reviewed by literally thousands of lawyers and investors. We’ve refined these further to create the popular UK standard. Our documents must be the most reviewed of any! Although we start with these templates, we know that larger rounds and VCs often require certain provisions and specific wording. Wherever possible, we accommodate these changes. But because we are committed to making funding rounds more economical (in time and money) through automation, we try to avoid in-depth cosmetic changes without good reason. Many leading VCs have their one-click wording and terms already coded into our platform, which makes it super easy for the founder and investor from the start. Get in touch if you would like yours to be added.

Which jurisdictions do you support for funding rounds?

We currently support the UK, France, Hong Kong, Singapore, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
