Startup Lawyer Argentina — Legal Counsel Built for Founders

Yes — if you have operations, employees or contracts in Argentina. A Delaware C-Corp is the right holding structure for VC fundraising, but Argentina has its own labor law, tax obligations, IP registrations and regulatory requirements that require local legal coverage. Most founders with a Delaware holding still need an Argentine lawyer to handle the subsidiary and local operations.

The most common needs at early stage: co-founders agreement with vesting, IP assignment to the company, service contracts with first customers, employment agreements, corporate structure (Argentine SAS or Delaware C-Corp depending on funding goals). As startups scale: SAFE agreements, investor term sheet review, data room preparation, regulatory compliance and M&A preparation.

We structure fees as project fees (fixed price for a specific deliverable) or monthly retainers (for ongoing Fractional GC coverage). Typical project fees: co-founders agreement USD 800–1,500; Argentine SAS formation USD 1,000–2,000; Delaware C-Corp USD 3,000–8,000; SAFE round (per investor) USD 2,000–4,000. We always quote before any commitment — no billing surprises.

We represent Argentine and LATAM founders raising capital from US and international investors. We also represent foreign companies entering Argentina. When there is a direct conflict between a founder and an investor in the same transaction, we will advise on the structure but each party should have independent counsel. We make this clear upfront.

Argentina has strict labor protection laws (make hiring and termination more complex and costly), foreign exchange regulations (affect how companies receive and remit USD), a different regulatory environment for financial services and crypto, and an IGJ-based corporate registry system. These create specific requirements that US-only counsel can miss. Our team handles both sides of the structure.
