At Sprintlaw, we can help with any kind of legal service your startup may need, including setting up your companies, founder and shareholder agreements, IP protection, T&Cs and service agreements, employment agreements, raising equity, convertible or debt capital and more.

We’ve worked with thousands of startup companies, and we’re a fast growing startup ourselves – having raised multiple rounds of investment and launched internationally ourselves. So we understand the importance of pragmatic, quality, cost-effective help!

Our team is made up of experienced lawyers, who are specialists in various areas of law. Many of our team have trained at leading law firms and left the traditional corporate law world to join us on our mission to create a new and better way of delivering legal services. Our team has expertise in all areas of startup law, including technology law, intellectual property law, contract drafting and review, corporate law and commercial law.

To work with us, just submit an enquiry through the site. After you’ve submitted an enquiry, one of our legal project managers will review your enquiry within 1 business day and get in touch to get a better idea of exactly what you are looking for.

Then your legal project manager will send through an email with a bit more information about the services you need, along with a fixed-fee quote setting out costs, scope of the service and timing. Have a read through it, and if you’re happy with the scope, you can accept and sign our engagement letter online – easy!

Once you’ve formally accepted, we’ll connect you with one of our lawyers and they will work with you to complete your project over email, phone and/or video chat – whatever you’d prefer.

Our use of technology allows our team members to work remotely from around the world, including the UK and Australia. We generally work with our clients entirely online – either via video chat or over the phone. Our UK team often work out of Flow Space co-working spaces in London.

Sprintlaw operates in the UK and Australia. In Australia, Sprintlaw is a regulated law firm and is an incorporated legal practice with number 32845 regulated by the Law Society of New South Wales. In England and Wales, Sprintlaw instead operates as a legal consultancy and is not a traditionally regulated law firm under the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).

So what is a legal consultancy? A ‘legal consultancy’ is a new, innovative model of legal practice which has been available in the UK since 25 November 2019 stemming from changes introduced under the SRA Standards and Regulations 2019. The SRA’s stated intention in introducing this model was to “expand the ways in which solicitors can work in unregulated entities to promote increased opportunities for innovation, greater competition and a raising of standards and protections in the unregulated sector“.
