Securities Attorney Needed — Venture Fund Launch

Compensation: Hourly (market rate)

Engagement Type: Contract / Project-Based

Location: Remote (U.S.-licensed attorney required)

⸻

We are launching a newly formed early-stage venture capital fund and are seeking an experienced U.S. securities attorney to assist on an hourly basis only — no retainers, no fixed-fee packages.

This is a targeted, well-scoped engagement for a lawyer who knows Reg D fund launches and prefers efficient, professional collaboration.

Scope of Work

Review and finalize fund documents for a Regulation D Rule 506(c) offering

Advise on Form D filing and 50-state Blue Sky notice filings

Confirm Rule 506(d) bad actor compliance

Sanity-check LPA, PPM, subscription documents

Spot issues before first close (not reinvent the fund)

All core documents are already drafted — this is review, refinement, and launch guidance, not greenfield drafting.
