Start-ups are more than just a product or service built to scale: they’re legal entities that come with legal processes and regulatory responsibilities that can sometimes seem mysterious and difficult to handle—especially to first-time founders. Every start-up’s legal needs are different and every stage of a company’s growth seems to multiply the compliance and risk management challenges facing the start-up.

One thing we all have in common: none of us can automatically solve all the legal challenges facing a company. No matter your situation, the risk of legal decisions negatively impacting your business is real. For many, you need the services of a lawyer, since the processes depend on the many variables inherent to your specific venture, which is why NJORD introduces founders to lawyers and offers discounts for legal assistance.

NJORD handles all the aspects of creating a company from scratch. Our start-up strategy explains most of the challenges start-up founders can be expected to face, and where they can look to handle each challenge as it arises. It’s not an exhaustive list, since every start-up is different, but most founders should plan to deal with most of these issues. That is why every start-up will need a lawyer to become successful. NJORD has gathered the sources for a successful journey.
