Startups and venture-capital investors need sound legal foundations to raise, deploy, and protect capital. KMNA provides specialised legal support to founders, startups, and investors — from company formation and fundraising to shareholder arrangements and exits.
Building an investable company requires the right legal structure, clear governance, and well-drafted investment terms. KMNA advises founders and investors across the venture lifecycle, protecting their interests at every round.
We structure entities and agreements to align incentives, manage risk, and support sustainable growth.
KMNA gives founders and investors integrated legal support that reduces risk and builds confidence — helping ventures scale on solid legal foundations.
The right structure — mainland, a free zone such as ADGM or DIFC, or a holding entity — depends on your activity, your investors, and your expansion plans, and it shapes governance, liability, and future fundraising. KMNA advises founders on the most suitable structure and handles the formation so the company is set up on investable foundations from the start.
A term sheet sets out the key commercial terms of an investment — valuation, ownership, board rights, and investor protections — and although often non-binding, it shapes the definitive agreements that follow. KMNA reviews and negotiates term sheets so founders understand exactly what they are agreeing to and their long-term interests are protected.
A typical round involves founders' and shareholder agreements, subscription or investment agreements, and often convertible instruments such as SAFEs or convertible notes, together with governance, vesting, and option terms. KMNA drafts and reviews these documents so incentives are aligned and each party's rights are clearly defined.
Before deploying capital, investors need a clear picture of a target's corporate, contractual, and regulatory position. KMNA conducts legal due diligence for investors and founders alike, identifying risks and helping structure terms that protect their interests through the transaction and beyond.
