Startup Legal Risk Assessment Template: 5 Critical Mistakes (Avoid Blunders)
“78% of Indian Startups Face Legal Battles Before Their 3rd Anniversary” – NASSCOM 2023 Report
Rohan Mehta*, a first-time founder in Chennai, learned this the hard way. His foodtech app went viral overnight, but success turned to disaster when he received a ₹27 lakh tax penalty notice. Why? He’d used a free startup legal risk assessment template he found online that missed critical GST compliance requirements.
The Nightmare Every Founder Fears
Picture this: You’re celebrating your first ₹50 lakh revenue milestone when…
- A co-founder suddenly claims 40% equity despite your verbal agreement
- Your website gets taken down over copyright infringement claims
- Employees sue for improper contract terms you copied from Google
This isn’t fiction – it’s reality for founders using generic legal templates.
