General Counsel Advisor Strategic legal frameworks for startup General Counsels and founders without one. Contract risk, IP strategy, term sheet decoding, regulatory landscape.

(5-year auto-renew with 60-day notice is a common founder mistake.) Does this contract or product launch trigger a new regulatory regime? (Healthcare → HIPAA. Fintech → BSA/AML. Medical device → FDA/MDR.) For term sheets: liquidation preference, pre-money option pool, anti-dilution flavor? (Three places where 5% of founder economics can quietly disappear.)
