Finance-trained outside counsel for startups and growth-stage technology companies — building the contract, IP, and risk infrastructure that lets your business scale with confidence.
Legal work shouldn't slow the business down. A finance-trained lens turns contracts from a cost center into a tool — one that protects the company and clears the path ahead.
Every clause is read for what it actually costs — in dollars, exposure, and leverage — not just legal form. Decisions map to the numbers that matter.
Risk is addressed before it becomes a dispute. The goal is a quiet legal function — one that catches problems on paper, long before they reach a courtroom.
Templates, playbooks, and governance built once and reused — so the next deal, hire, or fundraise moves faster than the last.
Four areas of focus — the contracts and structures a technology company leans on at every stage.
The agreements that move revenue — drafted and negotiated to protect margin and momentum.
Clean relationships with the people building the company — and clean exits when they end.
Making sure the company owns what it creates — and licenses the rest on its own terms.
The structure underneath it all — built right at formation so it holds up at the next round.
A clear path from first conversation to ongoing counsel — no surprises, no runaway invoices.
A short, no-pressure call to understand the business, where it is, and what's on the table. No charge, no obligation.
A clear, fixed-scope proposal — so you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before any work begins.
Contracts drafted, risk handled, infrastructure in place — and a counsel you can call as the business grows.
Charlotte Lynn Luu is a Georgia-licensed attorney focused on contract negotiation and risk management for startups and growth-stage technology companies.
Her practice pairs legal precision with a finance-trained perspective — reading every agreement as the financial decision it really is, and structuring it to protect the company without getting in the way of the next stage of growth.
“The best legal work is the kind you never have to think about — because the risk was handled on paper, before it ever became a problem.”
“Charlotte rewrote our SaaS agreement so our sales team could actually use it. Deals close faster, and I sleep better knowing the risk is handled.”
“She catches the things that would have cost us later. Having finance-trained counsel review our contracts has been a real advantage.”
“Clear, fast, and commercial. Charlotte explains the risk in plain terms and tells us what actually matters for the business.”
