As advisors to issuers, portfolio companies and investors, we know the key issues such parties will face and have practical and efficient solutions at the ready. We understand the importance of both deal flow to investors and access to capital to companies, and we often facilitate networking through introductions between companies and capital sources.
Our lawyers’ experience in major industries such as Retail & Consumer Products (including Luxury Brands), Hospitality, FinTech and Industrial & Manufacturing, as well as high-growth sectors, including AI, Digital Assets and Technology, provides us with invaluable market knowledge and a 360-degree view of our clients’ needs.
Extensive Knowledge
We advise early- and growth-stage companies and investors in every type, aspect and phase of venture capital and growth equity financings, including:
- Initial formation, seed financing and preparation for institutional investment
- Complex preferred stock structures, down-rounds and recapitalizations
- Complex joint ventures, distribution arrangements and alternative financing structures
- Corporate governance concerns, including fiduciary duties of directors and controlling shareholders
- Due diligence support: review of IP and data privacy issues, employment and benefits matters, pending litigation, outstanding debt instruments and real estate transactions
We also regularly act as “outside general counsel” to early stage ventures of all types, providing practical, efficient, strategic advice and legal guidance on the full range of issues that arise daily for nascent companies, including commercial contract negotiation, employee benefits, labor issues, intellectual property protection, data privacy, litigation, real estate leasing, establishment of credit facilities and other debt financings, and structuring for future growth (whether by acquisition or otherwise).
