Get your due diligence data room into shape before investors dig in

This service is usually relevant for founders, startups, growth companies and established businesses preparing for a capital raise, strategic investment, venture debt process or sale. It is especially useful where a business has grown quickly and its records are spread across different systems, advisers or team members. If you expect investors or buyers to ask for corporate records, commercial contracts, IP documents, employment materials or policy documents, a legal review of the data room can help you present those materials in a more coherent and transaction-ready way.

Businesses often run into trouble here when documents are missing, unsigned, inconsistent or out of date. Common examples include unclear IP ownership, founder or contractor arrangements that were never properly documented, cap table mismatches, old customer terms still in circulation, or confidentiality gaps when sensitive information is shared too early. Another recurring issue is that the documents say one thing while the business operates another way.

It does not include regulator approval, technical implementation of your data room, or security remediation work such as access controls, penetration testing or platform configuration. If your transaction touches a regulated area, If approval steps are relevant, we will explain what needs to be prepared and what sits outside the legal work.. External approvals, third-party decisions and technical security steps sit outside Sprintlaw's control, even where they affect the timing or usefulness of the data room.

If we identify missing or problematic documents, we will usually outline what the issue is, why it matters in diligence, and what legal work may be worth prioritising next. For example, that might involve updating contractor IP clauses, replacing outdated terms, documenting board or shareholder approvals, or tightening confidentiality arrangements before wider disclosure. Some businesses only need a cleaner structure and better indexing, while others need follow-on drafting work. If extra legal work is needed beyond the data room review itself, that would usually be scoped separately rather than assumed to sit inside the fixed-fee.
