Strata provides strategic and tactical legal support for private biotechnology companies. You get the business judgment and cross-functional integration of an in-house legal team without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire or big firm fees.
About Strata
Our purpose is simple: protect your runway and build the strong, multi-layered legal foundation your science can stand on so you can keep moving toward your next value inflection point.
The Biotech Challenge
Biotech teams face intense development timelines, investor pressure, cross-functional complexity, and limited resources while legal demands multiply underneath it all.
Delays Threaten Timelines
Contract cycles drag and slow R&D. Licensing and partnership decisions stall without clear legal direction.
Legal Spend Shortens Runway
Business teams fill the legal gap. Routine work goes to big firms unnecessarily. External support burns cash.
Fragmentation Erodes Value
Without unified visibility across functions, gaps surface late, creating cleanup risk and diligence issues.
Strata provides right-sized, senior in-house legal support that delivers the judgment required to create value, not slow it down. We sit between two imperfect options: high-cost outside counsel with limited business context and overextended business teams with limited legal expertise.
Why Founders Choose Strata
Business judgment → accelerate development
Cost-efficient leverage → extend runway
Unified cross-functional perspective → avoid missteps
Flexible fee structures → align incentives
Integrated systems → reduce complexity for business teams
The result: faster cycles, controlled spend, cleaner diligence, and a foundation that scales toward your next value inflection point.
Strata is led by a seasoned biotech General Counsel with deep experience building legal foundations beneath venture-backed R&D organizations and supported by a small, highly specialized bench for rapid, affordable, biotech-specific execution and continuity.
