The First "Counsel with Capital" Service

LawMerge has created the legal industry’s first “Counsel with Capital” service that places general and special counsel candidates with capital to invest in promising startups. These candidates are often the first legal hire of the startup. 

Under the Counsel with Capital service, LawMerge acts as talent agent to highly experienced lawyers who bring exceptional talent, extensive experience, specialized legal expertise, numerous contacts, and needed capital to startups. Counsel with Capital candidates add significant leadership capabilities and enjoy helping to shape and develop the successful future of the venture.

The typical compensation package for placed candidates includes traditional salary and benefits, plus significant equity buy-in/stock purchase opportunities. Under this unique service, placed candidates pay, or share the responsibility to pay, the placement fee and associated on-boarding costs. This makes it very attractive for startups to search for their first General Counsel or Special Counsel.
