McKercher LLP has extended their Program Partnership Agreement, contributing $24K over 3 years to empower Co.Labs startups with invaluable in-kind legal services. Most importantly, the agreement means Co.Labs startups have access to McKercher LLP’s team of world-class legal experts to guide them through the legal complexities of starting and growing a tech company.
At the earliest stages of company development, the high cost of legal services are often prohibitive to founders, preventing many new businesses from seeking the professional legal advice they need.
Since 2018, McKercher LLP has dedicated over 1,500 hours of in-kind legal services to over 150 founders in Co.Labs’ programs, helping them with everything from incorporation to governance to fundraising. If Amazon does everything from A to Z, McKercher LLP does everything from "I want to start a tech company" to "What is a non-participating 3x liquidation preference, and what is it doing in my term sheet?"
“As an early-stage startup working within a limited budget, McKercher’s support has been crucial in helping us navigate complex contracts, legal requirements, and developing a strategy & structure with confidence. They’re consistently available and eager to support TeamLinkt’s success, recently championing us through our Seed Round. We know this same commitment extends to every startup in the ecosystem, and it's greatly appreciated.” - Jay Maharaj, Founder - TeamLinkt
“McKercher has been an indispensable ally for SolusGuard. Their team’s proactive legal guidance & personal commitment to understanding our business has safeguarded our interests & propelled our growth. Their unwavering support goes beyond legal counsel; they are a true partner in our success.” - Serese Selanders, Founder - SolusGuard

We have been extremely privileged to enjoy the support of not just Co.Labs, but of all the founders who are building the next generation of great startups. Our Technology and High Growth Startup Group spends every day in support of our core mandate: empowering those who dare. Founders have benefitted from having accessible advisors focused on curiosity, creativity, and compassion. We pride ourselves on not simply being lawyers. We’re part of this great startup and technology community. We pride ourselves on looking for long-term relationships and not short-term gains. And, most critically, we want to support founders in every way we can.” Joe Gill, Partner - McKercher LLP
