Ownership and governance is where diligence starts, and where deals die.
When investors, lenders, or acquirers look at your company, the first folder they open is the governance folder. What they find either accelerates the deal or stalls it.
(01)
Make ownership unambiguous
Your operating agreement or bylaws, your owner agreements, and your cap table should all tell the same story. When they don't, equity grants, transfers, and exits unravel in diligence, usually at the worst possible moment. We keep the records and the reality aligned.
(02)
Decide cleanly, document defensibly
Every significant company action (issuing equity, appointing officers, taking on debt, selling assets) requires properly documented authority. Resolutions, written consents, and minute books that hold up to investor, lender, and court scrutiny are the difference between a formality and a fight.
(03)
Stay ready for what's next
A financing, a new subsidiary, a partner buyout, an acquisition. Whatever your next milestone is, your organizational posture should accelerate it. We keep your company diligence-ready by default, so the term sheet never has to wait on the cleanup.
Everything an in-house legal team would handle.
From your governing documents to your cap table to your multi-entity structure, for LLCs and corporations equally.
Governing documents
Operating agreements, bylaws, and other governing documents. Drafted, amended, and maintained so they match how your company actually runs.
Owner & founder agreements
Shareholder, member, and partnership agreements; founder agreements and founder transitions; buy-sell arrangements and succession planning.
Ownership transactions
Admissions of new owners, transfers, withdrawals, buyouts, redemptions, and capital contributions. Each one papered cleanly and reflected in the records.
Equity & incentive programs
Equity incentive plans, stock options, profits interests, phantom equity, SAFEs, convertible notes, and warrants, with cap table and ownership records kept reconciled.
Board & governance support
Board, manager, and advisory board support; resolutions and written consents; annual meetings; officer appointments; delegations of authority and signature frameworks.
Records & minute books
Company books, minute books, and governance records maintained as a single source of truth: current, complete, and ready to hand to a diligence team.
Entity compliance & filings
Annual reports, Secretary of State filings, registered agent coordination, foreign qualifications, DBAs, reinstatements, beneficial ownership compliance, and a governance calendar that keeps it all current.
Multi-entity structures
Holding companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, and joint ventures. Structured, formed, and governed as one coherent group, with intercompany arrangements documented.
Strategic organizational matters
Entity conversions and domestications, internal reorganizations, mergers and consolidations, and investment, acquisition, and exit readiness, including due diligence preparation and data room organization.
Services are custom scoped to your business and provided in accordance with your Legal Improvement Plan and Custom Managed Legal Services Plan.
Assess, improve, and maintain, applied to organization & governance.
Your dashboard shows where your foundation stands. Your plan closes the gaps. Your subscription keeps it that way.
- (01)
Assess
We inventory every entity, governing document, equity instrument, filing, and record, then rate each item on your Legal Health Dashboard™ so you can see exactly where your foundation stands.
- (02)
Improve
Your Legal Improvement Plan closes the gaps in priority order: missing consents, stale governing documents, unreconciled cap table entries, lapsed filings, unqualified states.
- (03)
Maintain
Your governance goes on a calendar: annual meetings, filings, equity issuances, record updates, all managed by your SuperCounsel team so nothing lapses again.
