The partnership between Mintz and Clara is the latest in a series of innovative and creative ways that Mintz is supporting the emerging companies’ ecosystem.

Mintz is a full-service law firm that has been providing creative, entrepreneurial counsel for decades to innovative companies across a wide range of sectors, including life sciences, healthcare, technology, FinTech, PropTech, EdTech, energy and sustainability (EnergyTech), sports and entertainment, real estate, construction and infrastructure, retail and consumer products, and education and non-profit. The firm has a strong reputation for supporting startups from idea to exit and has represented venture capital firms and other private equity investors, as well as venture capital-backed businesses in all stages, from early- or seed-stage investments through subsequent multi-investor and late-stage financings and IPOs.

The partnership with Clara is an innovative move that has further immersed Mintz as a key provider of legal services in the startup ecosystem. Under the partnership, Mintz has created the templates for founders to form Delaware companies and all of the additional documentation they may need to start a business in the U.S. or enter into an accelerator or venture builder program. This collaboration aligns Mintz with a digital partner that allows them to provide Clara’s users with a cost-efficient way to start their business legally compliant.

Clara is a LegalOS that provides digital tools to help founders form and scale their businesses and manage their cap tables. Established in 2019, Clara currently has over 4,000 startups on its platform. The partnership with Mintz has enabled Clara to enter the U.S. market and support its growing roster of U.S.-based customers. Clara’s LegalOS digitizes and automates legal tasks for founders, including digital company formations, cap table and data room management, and automated legal document generation, covering SAFEs, ESOPs, and more, all supported by the platform’s predictive education function.

The firm advises first-time and serial entrepreneurs, and executives of growing companies, helping them develop and acquire new technologies, defend against competitors, and remain compliant with applicable regulations.
