About

Senior legal thinking,
built for how startups
actually move.

Most early-stage companies can't afford — and don't need — a full-time general counsel. But they do need someone who gets both the legal and commercial picture, speaks founder, and won't drown decisions in jargon.

That's Tabanan. Led by Triin Tigane, we work directly with management as a pragmatic legal partner: translating complexity into clear decisions, structuring for scale, and making sure nothing critical falls through the cracks as you grow.

With over a decade advising companies across Europe (Nordics, Baltics, UK, EU), the US, the Middle East, and Asia — built for founders who operate globally and think long-term.

While building my game studio, Triin has been an advisor and sounding board. She helped me navigate international setup, team decisions, and investor questions — always with a very practical approach. When there are too many things on the table, she cuts through the noise and focuses on what actually matters.

Three ways we
work together.

Whether you need ongoing support or a focused one-off, we adapt to where you are and where you're headed.

01

Fractional General Counsel

Your senior legal brain — on demand. Triin embeds with your leadership team to handle ongoing legal and strategic matters, so you get GC-level thinking without the full-time salary. Financings, shareholder matters, option plans, IP protection, commercial agreements, AML/KYC compliance, and cross-border structuring — handled by someone who understands the business context behind every decision.

02

Gaming & Creative Industry Legal

Built for indie and VC-backed studios who need a lawyer that actually understands the industry. From IP ownership and publishing deals to equity rounds and cross-border structures — Triin helps founders protect what they've built, negotiate strong commercial terms, and set up a structure that makes sense before a deal is signed or money is raised. Because fixing problems later always costs more.

One-Off Legal & Business Consulting

Sometimes you just need a sharp second opinion before signing something important. Triin advises founders, small companies, and investors on specific agreements, shareholder arrangements, due diligence, commercial contracts, and pre-investment clean-ups. No retainer required — focused, fast, and built around your specific situation.
