The problem I've encountered in a lot of legal adjacent areas is most attorneys just are not very good. I have no idea if any given attorney is keeping up with the state of the art. Also, a lot of legal curricula are very pro-business, which means many attorneys have a inbuilt anti-worker and anti-founder bias.

I know nonvoting shares are usually a hard sell, but I've seen people pull it off. It's worth reminding investors that they are giving you their money on loan because they do not have business ideas, you do.
