Business Counsel

Contract & In-House Counsel

Strategic legal coverage for growing technology companies that need rigorous contracts, clear risk calls, and practical business judgment.

How It Works

Legal coverage that moves at business speed.

Contract counsel gives founders and executives access to experienced legal review without building a full internal legal department. ILKAY Law helps structure deals, clean up contract exposure, and support negotiations before friction turns into delay.

The work is practical by design: business formation, employment issues, licensing, e-commerce terms, vendor agreements, and litigation support handled with an understanding of technology companies and their operating constraints.

Core Service Areas

  • Business formation — entity selection, operating agreements, founder equity structures, and cap table documentation done correctly from day one so you never have to fix it under investor scrutiny
  • Employment law — offer letters, employment agreements, contractor classifications, confidentiality and IP assignment provisions, and separation terms drafted to protect the company
  • IP licensing — inbound and outbound license agreements, open source compliance, source code escrow, and royalty structures that reflect the actual value of what you've built
  • IoT and e-commerce — terms of service, privacy policies, marketplace agreements, hardware vendor contracts, and data terms for businesses operating at the intersection of physical and digital
  • Contract negotiation — review and redline of inbound contracts from customers, vendors, and partners, with risk-focused commentary that helps you understand what you're agreeing to
  • Litigation support — pre-litigation strategy, demand letters, document holds, and coordination with litigation counsel when disputes escalate

Fractional Legal Leadership

Need ongoing counsel?

For companies that need more than one-off contract review, ILKAY Law also supports a general counsel model built around recurring business needs.
