Baharak is a corporate lawyer who specialises in helping companies secure the funding they need to grow. She particularly enjoys working with early-stage startups who are transforming the worlds of life sciences and health tech.
Before joining SeedLegals, she was at Taylor Wessing, advising all kinds of businesses (especially those in tech and life sciences), founders and investors on a wide range of corporate matters with a particular focus on VC funding rounds.
Baharak has guided clients through the lifecycle of funding rounds and corporate transactions. Since joining SeedLegals, she has advised companies on funding rounds and took Definely’s major funding round to the next level with a cross-border strategic investment from Raine Ventures (via a secondary purchase) following the Series A round.
She brings her wealth of knowledge across the full funding spectrum, from pre-seed to Series B+, to our VC Advisory team to help close rounds.
