New Connections, New Opportunities

Concern Dialog participated in the Sevan Startup Summit 2025, bringing legal expertise to the heart of Armenia’s innovation ecosystem. Beyond sharing our knowledge, the summit provided a valuable opportunity to build new connections and explore potential partnerships.

We engaged with representatives of startups, business leaders, tech companies, and consulting firms—discussing ideas for future collaboration and mutual support.

Legal Expertise in Action

Our Managing Partner, Aram Orbelyan, once again joined the summit as a speaker and mentor, contributing to both the One-on-One Mentoring Sessions and Campfire Talk formats. He led discussions on:

• How to identify and mitigate legal risks

• How to build trust with investors through legal clarity

• How to apply international law when entering new markets

Mentorship and Key Takeaways

During mentorship sessions, we explored the business models of both early-stage and growing startups, including those offering legal tech or B2B services. Several important topics stood out:

• How to collect and store personal data properly and avoid penalties

• How to build clear and secure legal relationships with clients to prevent disputes

• How to ensure data security and respond to cybersecurity threats

• How to structure co-founder relations to prevent future conflicts

• What legal documents are essential during investment rounds for successful negotiations

A recurring theme was when to involve legal counsel in a startup’s growth journey—and how early action can prevent long-term risks.

Campfire Talk: Open Conversations Under the Stars

The evening Campfire Talk offered an engaging and informal platform for startup founders and our team to exchange ideas. Through an open Q&A format, we discussed how to navigate legal challenges across different stages of business development and how to approach legal risk management strategically.

Concern Dialog offers end-to-end legal support for startups—from initial consulting to in-depth legal analysis and long-term strategic partnerships.
