Senior attorneys lead every matter.
Your matter is run by an experienced attorney, backed by a paralegal and contracts team that does this every day.
CORPORATE, COMMERCIAL AND M&A COUNSEL
BigLaw rigor.
In-house judgment.
Formations, fundraising, contracts and M&A for growing companies — most of it on a fixed fee.
WHY THE NAME
parallax
/ˈperəˌlaks/ · noun
The apparent shift in an object’s position when viewed from two different points.
Our attorneys have sat on both sides—at law firms and in-house—so we look at every matter from both.
WHAT WE DO
One firm from formation to exit.
The same firm that sets up your company can run your rounds, negotiate your contracts, advise on your team and close your M&A transactions.
Company formations
Delaware and New York companies set up properly the first time: charter, founder stock, 83(b) elections and IP assignments. Our venture-ready C-Corp package is built for founders planning to raise VC.
Fundraising
SAFEs, convertible notes and priced rounds from pre-seed through Series B. The documents, the dilution, and what the terms mean for your next round. We’ll tell you what other lawyers won’t when it comes to your round.
Commercial contracts
Customer agreements, vendor paper, MSAs and SaaS terms. We know what enterprise buyers and their procurement teams push on, and where to hold.
Employment and equity compensation
Offer letters, contractor and advisor agreements, equity plans and option grants, and the compensation and benefits questions that come with a growing team.
Privacy, AI and compliance
Privacy and data security, HIPAA, AI governance and regulatory compliance—including what enterprise and healthcare customers will ask about in diligence.
Mergers & acquisitions
Buy-side and sell-side deals and founder exits. Diligence, negotiation and closing, run by attorneys who have worked on deals of every size.
Or use us for all of it. As your outside general counsel, we cover everything above and the day-to-day questions in between—by the matter, by the hour, or on a monthly subscription.

HOW WE WORK
An answer, not a memo.
We tell you what the issue is, what we’d do about it, and what it will cost. Then we get it done.
Our incentives match yours.
Hourly billing rewards time spent. We price by the outcome you need and agree it upfront, so we’re both focused on getting it done.
Fast turnarounds.
We use modern tools and AI-assisted workflows so routine work moves quickly and your fee goes on the judgment calls.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
PRICING
Know the fee before we start.
A lot of our work has a published starting price. We confirm the scope and the fee with you before any work begins. If you have multiple projects, we can bundle them together in a custom proposal and pass on efficiencies to you.

Who you’ll work with.
INSIGHTS
What we’d tell you on a call.
Our view on issues that come up again and again in client work—short enough to read before the meeting.
Fundraising
Before you sign your next SAFE, look at the whole round.
The valuation cap is one decision. Understanding what you have already promised is another.
M&A
The best time to prepare for a sale is before the buyer asks.
A little preparation can keep a promising transaction from becoming an exercise in finding missing records.
Company building
Founder equity is a conversation about the future.
An ownership split answers one question. Vesting, commitment, and documentation answer several more.
