Do I require legal oversight in this process? Do you have recommended law firms to use?

For most founders, legal oversight is not required. Our platform is built to guide you through the standard incorporation process without needing a lawyer, using clear, compliant, and customized documentation.

However, if your situation involves complexities—like restructuring an existing company, bringing in prior investors, or executing a cross-border share flip—legal advice can be valuable. In such cases, we’re happy to connect you with trusted law firms that specialize in international founder needs, cross-border structuring, and US-India compliance.
