What We Do
Built for Every Stage of Your Company
From your first fundraise to your exit—one attorney who knows the whole picture.
M&A & Exits
Acquisitions, divestitures, spin-offs, and joint ventures. Alex handles both sides of the table across tech, biotech, and beyond.
Formation & Structure
Delaware C-Corp setup, founder equity splits, board structure, and governance that won't break at Series A.
Fractional General Counsel
Ongoing legal coverage without a full-time hire. Board prep, corporate secretary duties, compliance, and a calm voice when things get complicated.
Contracts & Commercial
SaaS agreements, vendor contracts, terms of service, privacy policies, and supply chain deals—drafted clean and ready to sign.
Hiring & Equity
Employee offers, contractor agreements, stock option plans, and advisor grants—structured right so you attract talent without creating problems.
Working Together
No Runaround. No Surprises.
You talk directly to Alex. He learns your business once and stays in your corner through every raise, hire, and hard call.
The goal isn't more legal work. It's fewer surprises, faster decisions, and a structure investors trust on first look.
How It Actually Works
You tell Alex what you need. He scopes it, gives you a clear price, and delivers clean drafts—usually within days. No associates, no hand-offs, no mystery invoices.
- Answers in hours, drafts in days
- Docs that pass investor diligence
- A partner in your corner, not a billing machine
Client Words
What Founders Say
“Alex is a trusted counselor. He tells it like it is, even if it isn't what you want to hear.”
“I can count on Alex to be in my corner, no matter what.”
“He makes himself available 24/7. His professional network is like no other.”
Pricing
You'll Know the Cost Before You Start
Flat fees and capped engagements. You get a clear scope and a clear price—before any work begins.
No hourly billing surprises. No vague estimates that balloon. Every project is scoped up front so you can budget with confidence and focus on building.
If the scope changes, the price is updated before the work continues. Simple as that.
Approach
Trained at Foley & Lardner. Built for Founders.
Alex cut his teeth at Foley & Lardner, an Am Law 50 firm, plus stints in investment banking and compliance. He left big law to give founders the same caliber of work—without the layers, the delays, or the giant invoices.
You'll always know where you stand, what the risks are, and what to do next.
What That Looks Like
Quick calls, clean drafts, fast turnarounds. Alex stays plugged into your business so he can give real advice—not generic legal boilerplate.
- Focused on your actual decision, not billable busywork
- First drafts fast, revisions faster
- Negotiation that protects you without killing deals
- Templates and docs you can reuse as you scale
When you need a specialist (tax, IP, employment), Alex taps a trusted network—so you get expert coverage without hiring a second firm.
Meet Alex
50+ Startups. Every Stage. Every Sector.
Alex Ravski is a San Francisco Bay Area business attorney who's passionate about founders using business as a tool for impact. He started Nebo Legal so entrepreneurs could get elite legal work without the big-firm price tag or runaround.
Before launching the firm, Alex worked at Foley & Lardner (Am Law 50) and held roles in investment banking, securities compliance, and startup operations. He's advised 50+ startups across AI, defense tech, biotech, fintech, SaaS, clean energy, and more—and sits on the board of a 501(c)(3).
As an entrepreneur himself, Alex doesn't just draft documents. He helps founders choose the right structure, find the right advisors, protect their IP, build the right team, plan for hypergrowth, and think through exit strategies.
Best Fit For
Founders and investors who want a real lawyer, not a legal department.
- Pre-seed through Series A (and selective later stages)
- AI, tech, hardware, defense tech, and biotech founders
- Angels and VCs who want clean, founder-friendly deals
- Nonprofits and executives needing corporate counsel
