Counsel that scales with you. Formation through exit, with institutional-grade fundamentals at every stage.
BauHaus advises founders from first check through exit, and the investors who back them through every round. We deliver the institutional-grade legal fundamentals that sophisticated investors expect, at prices that make sense for the stage you are actually in.
What we do
Formation, founder agreements, and equity allocation. Equity plans, option pools, and 409A coordination. Pre-seed, seed, Series A through late-stage financings. Convertible notes, SAFEs, and venture debt. Commercial contracts and technology licensing. Employment, contractor, and advisor arrangements. Board governance and investor relations. Secondary sales and tender offers. Fund formation, LP documentation, and side-letter negotiation. M&A and exit transactions.
How we use AI
Our venture workflow turns priced-round mechanics into a small engineering project. Diligence, redlining against industry-standard precedent, side-letter comparison, and disclosure schedule review run in parallel. Founders see redline turns in hours, not days; cap-table impacts are modeled in the room.
Why BauHaus
Founders do not need lawyers who bill like lawyers who have never built anything. They need a firm that can close a priced round cleanly, stand up a commercial agreement on a founder’s deadline, and scale without becoming a line item that distorts the next round’s economics.
Representative matters
Illustrative only. Acted for a Series B lead investor in a $60M priced round. Advised a founder team on pre-incorporation structuring and early-stage equity allocation. Represented an emerging company in a $180M strategic acquisition by a public acquirer. Counseled a seed-stage fund on first-close fund formation and LP onboarding.
