START-UP / SCALE-UP
As early as 2001, Lerins was one of the first firms to develop a dedicated support service for start-ups and scale-ups.
Our methodology is based on four pillars.
We act as an outsourced legal director. For example, instead of a legal consultation, we prefer to prepare an immediately operational roadmap integrating business, managerial and financial parameters, and explaining the steps to be taken to successfully complete a project or deal with an issue. After a debrief with our client, we take care of the implementation of the roadmap.
We advise start-ups, and especially their managers, within the framework of a close, privileged and long-term relationship with one of the firm's partners. Depending on the subject, we guide them to the firm's various experts, so that they always have access to the most specialized, cost-effective and responsive advice. The life of a start-up is tumultuous. In symbiosis with the entrepreneurs’ other advisors, we are committed to providing a solid anchor point to help them gain perspective, fuel their thinking and help them find and implement solutions.
We've covered hundreds of topics and projects for start-ups. We share our experience and benchmarks to save time for the entrepreneurs we support. We know a wide range of players: fundraisers, accountants, incubators, investors, etc. We direct start-ups to the right professionals and put them in touch with anyone who can make a positive contribution to their development, including our partner lawyers in 200 cities worldwide. Whenever possible, we recommend the products and services of our start-up customers, including for ourselves, as we aim to be their ambassadors.
