Build a legal foundation for growth

Growth brings investors, boards, regulators and foreign markets, and the legal stakes rise with them.

With a small group of peers you prepare your company for investment, secure your IP and data, build a compliance system that fits your size, and plan expansion abroad. You also decide how your company uses AI for legal work and when to use a law firm.

By the end of the course you will have a legal and governance roadmap for your company's next growth stage, reviewed by peers and a practising attorney.

This course is the third step of the learning path “Legal Confidence for Entrepreneurs”. Also explore “Start and Run Your Company in Estonia: Legal Basics with AI” and “Contracts, People and IP: Draft and Negotiate with AI”.

Who is Legal Strategy for Growth: Investment, Compliance and AI Governance intended for?

The course is designed for founders of growth companies, CEOs, board members, CFOs and heads of legal.

Admission is by role, so that the group brings together leaders with similar responsibilities.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course you will be able to:

prepare the company for investment: cap table, term sheets, shareholder agreements and due diligence;
secure ownership of code, data, brands and technology agreements so they survive due diligence and international expansion;
build a proportionate compliance system for the EU rules that affect the company (GDPR, AI Act, NIS2 where relevant);
plan international expansion, cross-border contracts and dispute resolution;
set company rules for using AI in legal and business work, and decide what to buy from law firms.

You receive written feedback on each milestone within seven days. There are no exams or grades.

To complete the course and receive the certificate, you must attend at least seven of the nine sessions and present your final project.
