A solicitor helps draft and negotiate share issues, option and equity plans, and shareholder agreements; structure rounds to optimise control and compliance; prepare term sheets and navigate Companies Act 2006 requirements, PRE‑emption rights, and disclosure obligations; and coordinate with auditors, banks or investors.
