[Legal] Office Hour | Attorney Alice Lu [SIT SV Member Only]

​Office Hour｜Legal Consultation

​About the Session

​In Silicon Valley, lawyers are rarely just for damage control.

​For many startups, legal decisions quietly shape everything from how deals are structured to whether fundraising conversations move forward — long before any contract is “in trouble.”

​This Legal Office Hour is designed for founders who want to use legal expertise as part of their operating toolkit, not as a last resort. Whether you are setting up your company, preparing for fundraising, adjusting your cap table, or navigating investor and partner discussions, this is a space to pressure-test your assumptions and avoid structural mistakes early.

​We often see strong teams with solid products stall — not because of execution, but because the legal and structural foundations weren’t aligned with how the ecosystem actually operates. This session is about making sure your legal setup supports your business momentum, rather than slowing it down.

​Topics You May Consult On

• ​U.S. company formation and entity structure

• ​Equity setup, cap tables, and founder agreements

• ​Fundraising documents and investor terms

• ​Commercial agreements and partnership considerations

​Who Should Attend

• ​Founders actively building or scaling a U.S.-based startup

• ​Teams preparing for fundraising or investor conversations
