Frequently Asked Questions
Got Specific Questions?
Is Aether a law firm?
No, Aether is a technology platform. Our team of lawyers use Aether to work faster than a traditional firm ever could, and to provide quality that can’t be matched by other platforms. We provide top-tier legal support without the bill that usually comes with it.
Do I get to speak to a real lawyer or is it all automated?
Both. Aether handles the document generation, processing, compliance and administrative work that traditionally eats up billable hours. But a lawyer is in the loop and available when you need a real conversation. You get the efficiency of a platform and the judgment of a lawyer. Not one or the other.
We're pre-revenue. Is it too early?
No, definitely not. The mistakes that cost founders most are often the ones made in the first six months. Co-founder agreements never signed, contractors building the product without entering into IP assignments etc. These are easy to fix when the company is small and everyone is aligned. They become expensive and complicated once money, investors or disputes are involved.
I've been using AI to draft contracts. Is that ok?
Potentially. AI-generated contracts can look convincing and still be wrong. Wrong jurisdiction, missing clauses, terms that don't reflect how UK company law actually works. More importantly, no AI takes professional responsibility for what it produces. If a document fails, there is no one accountable.
Can I use Aether if I'm already mid-raise?
Yes! We regularly do this with startups who are mid raise and have realised their current provider isn’t up to the job.
