ABOUT
US<\/h1><\/div>

Balam provides specialized legal advisory to investors and startups to navigate the challenges of the venture capital industry.

What need do we address?<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

Investors and startups require advisors with deep experience in Venture Capital and impact investing, with fees proportionate to transaction size and prompt response times.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n

What sets us apart?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

We didn't set out to advise the venture capital industry; we were part of it. After serving as the in-house legal team of an investment fund, we took that hands-on experience and built a truly specialized practice.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n

What is our relevant experience?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

We have advised both investment funds and startups, which allows us to work with methodologies tailored to the priorities and challenges of each party.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
