“Scale Up Counsel's expertise demonstrates their extraordinary skills in handling complex legal cases, such as mine was. They guide their clients with integrity and clear communication as they help them understand and navigate their legal needs. They were patient with all my questions and extremely thorough in their legal counsel. I strongly recommend working with them.”
“Worked with Scale Up Counsel on a complex term sheet for my early-stage AI startup. They were sharp, fast, and clear, not just on the legal details, but on how each term could impact fundraising, board control, and long-term flexibility. They helped us see the downstream effects of things like IP clauses and veto rights, and flagged a few red lines we would’ve missed. If you’re a startup negotiating early investor docs, Scale Up Counsel has the kind of lawyers you want in your corner.”
“I met Ezra on the YC community portal and his unique background in tech and legal domain was very interesting to me. Scale Up Counsel handled our first investment agreement processing, as a tech start-up, really meticulously and with a quick turnaround. Would definitely work with them.”
“Scale Up Counsel was extremely quick and responsive, and the work product provided was top notch. They were ready and willing to help me implement the assets he prepared for me, and flexible enough to work on my timeline. Highly recommend.”
