What we do

Legal, tax and strategic counsel that travels with your business.

Most firms hand you an opinion. We hand you a route. StellarStart GLOBAL sits between your commercial plan and the rules of every jurisdiction it touches, then removes the friction between the two.

Entity formation and restructuring. Trademarks, patents and copyright across treaty systems. Cross-border taxation and transfer pricing. Data protection under GDPR, DPDP and CCPA. Contracts you can actually enforce. Litigation support when talking stops working.

Our core team is supported by StellarPartners, local practitioners who carry the jurisdictional detail so you get one accountable point of contact instead of five separate retainers.

AI and copyright: unpacking the $1.5B Anthropic settlement and what it means for your business

The largest publicly reported copyright recovery on record looks like a win for authors. Read the terms and a different picture appears: a no-admission-of-liability clause that resolves an existential claim without setting precedent against the fair use defence. Here is what the deal actually decides, what it leaves open, and the four things to change in your own training-data and licensing posture this quarter.
