The cost of waiting
The cheap legal call is the one you skip.
Most founders do not get hurt by a big bill. They get hurt by the small thing nobody checked, surfacing at the worst time.

One line in a term sheet can quietly sign away equity or control. You only find out at your next raise, when it is too late to change.
Equity or control
No data officer, no deal
Investors and regulators both ask who owns data protection. If nobody does, your raise stalls and the fines can follow.
A stalled raise
Your IP might not be yours
If a contractor never signed their work over to you, you do not fully own it. A buyer's lawyer will catch it, and the sale can collapse.
A blown exit
All of it, preventable.
Every item above traces back to the same gap: no senior legal consultant in the room early. Close that one gap and the pile never forms.
