About the firm

Legal counsel built for technology businesses.

Austlii began with a simple gap. Tech founders kept hiring lawyers who did not understand their product. We fix that. Our team blends law, international business, and real tech-industry work.

We are not a generalist high-street firm. We back SaaS, fintech, and crypto teams across Europe, from first incorporation to a clean exit.

Our brief

Great products deserve lawyers who read the code as closely as the contract.
— The founding principle behind Austlii

How we work differently

Three habits shape every mandate. They are why founders pick a specialist team over a one-size-fits-all firm.

01

We speak law and product

Most firms read your pitch deck and see a standard corporate file. We see the product. Our lawyers have worked inside SaaS, crypto, and fintech teams. So advice lands in plain language. No academic detours.

02

Full lifecycle, one team

Incorporation, contracts, licensing, funding, exit. We cover the whole arc. The same team that structures your holding entity also drafts your token framework. Context never gets lost in a handoff.

03

Built for cross-border growth

Tech does not stop at one border. Neither do we. Our network spans ten-plus European jurisdictions. We map GDPR, MiCA, and AML rules into one clear plan you can act on.

From seed to exit, one file

We map to the company lifecycle, not to billable silos. The same team carries your context through every stage.

Seed

Get structured right

We pick the jurisdiction and entity that fit your roadmap. Clean cap tables. Founder agreements that hold up.

Scale

Stay compliant as you grow

GDPR audits, MiCA filings, and SaaS contracts move with you. We keep the paperwork ahead of the product.

Raise

Close rounds with confidence

SAFEs, convertible notes, and term sheets reviewed fast. We protect your equity and your IP at the table.

Exit

Sell or merge on your terms

Due diligence, warranties, and deal structure handled end to end. The team that built the file runs the exit.

A European network that travels with you

Incorporation, licensing, and compliance handled on the ground. We coordinate across borders so you brief one team, not ten.
