Venture Capital & Private Equity

Our business attorneys advise venture capital, private equity and similar funds in their formation and in a variety of debt, equity and hybrid financing transactions. We remain current on the emerging trends in the market, allowing us to advise companies and investors on alternative financing structures that could suit their current or future needs. And, because our attorneys represent issuers in initial public offerings and in mergers and acquisitions, we always keep liquidity events in mind when reviewing and negotiating venture financing documents. We have the experience necessary to address legal issues that may arise during the due diligence process, including employment, litigation, tax, real estate, environmental and other matters.
