Clause took a chaotic term sheet, a messy cap table, and a nervous timeline and gave us calm, clear execution. They translated investor comments into plain decisions, kept the tone constructive, and closed exactly when they said they would. The board loved the one page summary and the fee matched the scope. I slept well the week of the signing.

Very happy that our company started using Clause. We draft, review, and negotiate agreements in plain English. Redlines that protect what matters and keep deals moving. And eveyone in my team understands the legal documents now!

Clause is the rare firm that keeps velocity without letting risk leak. On our last two investments they turned a messy data room into a clean risk memo, translated a term sheet into definitive docs without ceremony, and kept founder relations warm. Close dates held, board terms landed as agreed, no surprise asks at the eleventh hour.

Clause is a focused law firm for modern companies. We work with the precision of a boutique and the reliability of a larger practice. You get plain English, clean documents, and steady communication. Our goal is simple, protect what matters and keep momentum on your side. We run a clear process from first call to signature.
Intake takes minutes, then we agree scope, timing, and price before work starts. Drafts are sharp and readable, updates are short and useful, and close dates hold. You always know what happens next.
Our core work is commercial contracts, corporate matters, employment, and disputes, with IP and privacy support where product needs it. We cut review rounds, set realistic positions and fallbacks, and keep relationships intact while holding the line on what matters. Playbooks and templates keep teams moving long after the first engagement.
Trust is built in how we work. Confidential information stays secure with need to know access and clean records. We operate from New York, San Francisco, and London, and deliver across time zones.

Clause took a chaotic term sheet, a messy cap table, and a nervous timeline and gave us calm, clear execution. They translated investor comments into plain decisions, kept the tone constructive, and closed exactly when they said they would. The board loved the one page summary and the fee matched the scope. I slept well the week of the signing.

Very happy that our company started using Clause. We draft, review, and negotiate agreements in plain English. Redlines that protect what matters and keep deals moving. And eveyone in my team understands the legal documents now!
