Every startup will have its own unique legal needs, however through the years I can identify a core set of legal documents a startup should receive from a startup lawyer so as to establish what I refer to as its basic legal infrastructure. This basic legal infrastructure would be sufficient to take the business from concept to launch. Of course the recommended documents listed below represent a generic iteration of a business venture and does not consider highly complex startups which may require additional legal documents.
