Expertise and Services

Business Development Expertise

Business Development Consultation for Internationalization

We steer your company to execute on all the opportunities of your – established and new potential – markets and explore new growth areas. We support you in designing the right business models to reach your long- and short-term goals. Every task we undertake is with a view to produce business results, helping to comprehend the market, and managing business development operational projects.

Funding Related Services

A finance strategy is a crucial part of business strategy and the lifeline of any growth company. We help you estimate the required type of funding as well as plan when to raise, and how much. We review and/or prepare your company’s corporate governance documentation in order to be ready for funding rounds as well as help negotiate with potential investors, bankers and funders.

Outsourced Legal Services

Outsourced legal services place a designated in-house counsel that understands your business at your disposal, when your company needs it. Effective legal advice requires your advisor to be in tune and aware of your near and long term business needs. With OLS your company has a legal representative available on-demand, such as an in-house counsel, but with the flexibility of only being charged for the hours you need.

Contract Law

For the purposes of technology law, contracts are at the core of every aspect of your business. Contract Law deals with obligations established by express or implied agreements between private parties. Contracts involving the sale of goods are generally standardized throughout the western world by the adoption of the uniform commercial legislation. We provide advice on any contractual issues faced by your company, and can review and revise your contracts procedures to meet current standards or create contracts policies for you.

Marketing Communications and Communications Consultation

Identifying key differentiators and target groups, choosing the right messages and channels, and establishing a positioning within your markets, are key elements of building brand value. Understanding your business and marketplace, we ensure your strategies and communications support reaching your business goals. As part of strategic marketing planning, we work with you to look at your business from the outside in and identify previously overlooked opportunities that allow for your growth and diversification. Our marketing communications and communications consultation services support your business inter alia in strategic planning, branding, public relations and leadership.
