Acuity Counsel Service
Business Start-ups
Legal support that grows with your start-up.
Support at every stage of growth
ACS flexes as your business grows. From formation and early stage growth to scaling and potential exit, ACS provides expert advice and guidance when you need it.
We can help you put strong foundations in place, including founder agreements, shareholder arrangements, terms and conditions, privacy documentation, supplier contracts and IP ownership considerations. Getting these points right early can reduce risk and make your business more attractive to investors, customers and future partners.
How ACS works
We start by understanding your business, your growth plans and the legal support you are likely to need. You then select the subscription level that suits your requirements, and we match you with a team of lawyers aligned to your business profile. As your needs change, you can use your credits across practice areas or additional Acuity products and services such as Acuity Academy, giving you the flexibility to scale support up or down as required.
You also benefit from transparent billing, roll-over unused hours and the reassurance of working with lawyers who get to know your business over time. That means advice is not delivered in isolation; it is grounded in your commercial objectives, your funding journey and the practical realities of building a start-up.
ACS – built for founders who need momentum
Start-ups need legal advice that is practical, responsive and proportionate. Acuity Counsel Service is designed to give founders access to the right level of support at the right time, without unnecessary complexity. Whether you are still shaping your commercial model, preparing for investment, hiring your first employees or negotiating with major customers, we can help you make informed decisions and keep your business moving forward.
