The firm
Eleven corporate lawyers, no litigation department
Halden Pryce was founded in 2009 by two partners who left national firms to build a transactional practice without the leverage model. Every deal is staffed by a partner and at most two associates. The firm represents companies from seed stage through exit and a handful of funds on the other side of the table.
•Partner led deal teams, no first year running the diligence
•Budget estimates by workstream, updated at each milestone
•Data room and closing checklists shared with clients in real time
Reviews
Founders and investors on the firm
“Term sheet to wire in thirty one days with a lead who had never invested in Texas before. The diligence list was ready before they asked.”
Ana K., Founder, Series A
“We use them on buy side because they flag the three issues that matter instead of a ninety page memo.”
Rob F., Partner, growth fund
“Our cap table was a mess from four years of handshake grants. They cleaned it up before the round rather than during it.”
Jules M., CEO, software company
FAQ
Working with corporate counsel
How are your fees structured on a financing?
Most priced rounds are quoted as a capped fee tied to deal complexity, with the cap set before drafting starts. Seed notes and SAFEs are typically flat. Fees on a company side financing are usually paid at closing out of proceeds.
Will a partner actually work on my deal?
Yes. Every engagement has a named partner who drafts and negotiates the principal documents. Associates handle diligence, closing mechanics and ancillary agreements.
Can you take us through an exit later?
That is the intent. Companies that stay with one corporate firm through multiple rounds carry cleaner records into diligence, which measurably shortens an acquisition timeline.
Do you represent investors and companies both?
We do, though never on opposite sides of the same transaction. Conflicts are cleared before any engagement letter goes out, and we will decline a matter rather than paper around a real conflict.
