Their innovative industrial facilities process wastewater, return fresh water, and use residual salts to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. With operations in California, Australia, Korea, and New Zealand, Capture6 is scaling its impact across the globe. ![capture6](https://spzlegal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/clients/capture6.png?width=890&height=344&name=capture6.png) “We build industrial facilities that process wastewater… and use the residual salts to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere—creating a collection of wins for the environment and for our clients.” —Ethan Cohen-Cole, CEO, Capture6 ## Key Challenges Like many fast-moving climate tech startups, Capture6 needed a legal partner who could move at their speed. They faced the usual startup hurdles—incorporation, equity structuring, global agreements, financing—but didn’t want the friction and expense that often comes with big law firms. They’d seen how the wrong legal team could slow things down. ![2](https://spzlegal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2.png?width=2240&height=1260&name=2.png) “Members of our team had previous experiences at other companies dealing with a lot of attorneys that handle things that are not their core competence. In all those instances, the companies ended up with both large bills or long delays.” —Ethan Cohen-Cole, CEO, Capture6 ## The Solution Capture6 didn’t have to shop around. SPZ had supported Ethan’s previous startup, and that relationship made it an easy choice to return. SPZ stepped in as a true partner, not just a vendor—handling everything from the basics to the complex, including: - **Incorporation** as a benefit corporation - **Equity incentive structuring** and issuance - **International subsidiary formation** - Complex international commercial agreements - **Legal structuring** for major projects like Project Monarch - **Seed and Series A financing rounds** with traditional, strategic, and accelerator investors And importantly, SPZ became their go-to for general legal support, so they didn’t have to juggle multiple firms. ![3-1](https://spzlegal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3-1.png?width=2240&height=1260&name=3-1.png) “I hired SPZ for the last startup that I had and I was pleased with that experience and decided to come back. SPZ strikes the right balance of providing business-minded advice while appropriately advising on risk for our company.” —Ethan Cohen-Cole, CEO, Capture6 ## The Outcome SPZ Legal didn’t just offer legal services—the Capture6 team shared that they made legal simple. With clear, timely communication and practical, end-to-end support, Capture6 was able to focus on growing their business instead of managing legal teams.
