Legal for founders
and scaling tech ventures
Straight talk, no jargon, fast turnaround
Building a business means making fast decisions with real consequences. Otro gives clear, actionable legal advice for founders and scaling tech ventures. No unnecessary complexity, just support that keeps your business moving.
Many founders deprioritise legal. Most regret it.
Many founders deprioritise legal early on — no time, no budget, other priorities. It's understandable. But the contracts you sign in a hurry, the IP you don't protect, the structure you rush: these come back. Otro gives you in-house legal thinking without the full-time cost. Sitting inside your business, so you get things right before they become problems.

Working differently, close to you
Working with Otro isn’t like hiring a traditional firm. ‘Otro’ means different, and for us it isn’t just a slogan. It’s how we make legal practical and useful in your everyday decisions.
-
You get clear answers, not memos full of theory.
-
You know the cost before we start.
-
You work with a partner who wants to know your business and help it move forward.
Pricing built on value,
not hours
We don’t bill by the hour. Our fees reflect the value we bring. Together, we define the right model: fixed monthly days, project fees, or sometimes equity for early-stage companies. Legal support that’s accessible, predictable, and aligned with your business.
WHY WORK WITH US
25 years across law, business,
and the startup world
-
Working at the world's leading law firms taught us rigour and depth.
-
Corporate in-house roles showed us what the other side expects, how they think, and where the complexity hides.
-
Startups taught us speed, pragmatism, and the art of the trade-off.
-
And time in operations gave us the founder's perspective from the inside.
That breadth gives you something most lawyers can't offer: a 360 degree view of every deal, every decision, and every risk.
ABOUT
Helping founders and business owners protect what they build
Otro was built on the belief that every startup and growing business deserves legal counsel that fits their commercial reality, from day one. What sets us apart: we have not only years of experience advising startups and SMEs, but time spent inside growing companies in senior operational roles. We've sat with founders, felt the pressure of fast decisions, and understood the trade-offs behind every signature.
That dual perspective perspective means we understand the contract, but also why it matters to your business. We give you clear, practical answers so you can move fast and get it right. Because getting things right early isn't just about avoiding problems. It's how you protect what you're building and set yourself up to grow.
