Building Legal Foundations for Sustainable Growth: Insights from Continuum Legal’s Founder Koby Wilbanks

“I believe in lifelong learning, and every new challenge is an opportunity to grow and adapt. That’s what keeps me inspired. “

Koby Wilbanks

Could you explain what Continuum Legal does? We provide concierge general counsel services for startups, family enterprises, and mid-sized businesses, bridging the gap between in-house counsel and traditional law firms with comprehensive, hands-on legal support.

What inspired you to create Continuum Legal, and how is it different? I wanted to offer a collaborative and strategic legal service that isn’t possible in a traditional law firm structure. At Continuum Legal, we build strong, long-term client relationships, acting as an extension of their team with transparency, education, and collaboration at our core.

How do you work alongside other attorneys that a business might already have?
We often serve as a central hub, coordinating with specialized attorneys our clients already know and trust. By managing these services and acting as a legal project manager, we ensure accountability, efficiency, and continuity across all legal needs.

What are key legal and governance practices for founders as they scale? Founders should consider legal as a structured part of their business with a defined budget. Early, proactive legal involvement helps prevent last-minute bottlenecks and ensures smoother scaling.

How do you help clients plan for long-term growth? We establish systems like contract management and provide education to help founders proactively address future needs. This foundation prepares them for sustained growth and challenges down the line.

What should investors look for when assessing a startup’s legal readiness?Investors should review the startup’s legal structure, the depth of its legal team, and spending patterns. Clear legal planning and established relationships show that a startup is prepared for risks and regulations.

Any advice for startups balancing budget constraints and legal needs? Focus on what adds the most value. Set up essential legal systems, consult for key needs, and handle simpler tasks internally. Working efficiently with legal advice is key to maximizing budget impact.

It’s been a minute since we shared updates on the real estate development side of our business. Didn’t want to bore you with the tedium of a slow permitting process…. but GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!!!

With this significant milestone achieved, we can finally break ground in 2025!

Getting a project of this scale completed in a single year sounds like a miracle, but it IS possible. Bevyhouse is an innovator in concurrent construction: custom factory built at the same time as groundworks. They completed a similar project in only 11 months! We’ll see what happens once the bulldozers show up, but anything is possible when you Dream… MORE.

Attention real estate or conscious investors: we are continuing expansion with physical locations to support wellness, business, and community. If you’d like to compare notes or make any strategic introductions, let us know. This is an integral part of our longer term strategy, as we scale up the recruiting and advisory side of Dreamore, supporting an ecosystem that is purposeful, powerful, and sustainable.

That little red box is extremely valuable!
