Personal Introduction

Lakhani Legal is a business and IP law firm, working with businesses across different industries, entrepreneurs, and startups. We aim to assist businesses through their entire lifecycle, and can assist with everything from incorporation services to contract drafting (including employment agreements, service agreements, vendor and supplier contracts, leases, website compliance policies), helping protect their brand through trademark and copyright registration, drafting and negotiating fundraising documents when ready to bring on outside investors, and M&A work when businesses are ready to exit or expand. Shefali Lakhani is the Founder and Managing Attorney of Lakhani Legal. As an owner, she calls on her prior law firm experience, as well as her experience working in the innovation, tech, and start up spaces, to bring a human centered approach to her practice. This allows her to understand and expertly meet her clients’ needs. Her prior experience in the technology space also helps her create a more modern yet effective practice, leveraging legal technology to streamline parts of her practice, while spending more time on the substantive legal work and on meaningfully engaging with her clients. Shefali’s worked in a number of different legal and non-legal spaces, and while she learned a great deal from each experience, none was the perfect fit. With Lakhani Legal, she aims to create a space that would allow both herself and her clients to show up exactly as they are. She aims to create an authentic, inclusive space, where she can build meaningful relationships and help her clients thrive.
