| Venture Capital and Private Equity Financing

Clients at emerging companies and venture capital firms benefit from our resources in these arenas and our locations in key global financial and technology centers, including Asia, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and the Bahamas.

The nature of our work for technology, new media and other startup ventures has been as varied as our client base. We handle all aspects of planning and structuring venture capital, buyout and similar funds, as well as organizing new companies and acquisition vehicles. We guide startups through the investment process by analyzing their capitalization structure, evaluating venture capital opportunities or government funding, negotiating term sheets and providing due diligence. We blend experience in business and technology law to help clients protect their intellectual property, negotiate optimal distribution deals and strategic alliances and implement growth strategies. From the building of a business through IPOs or acquisitions, we provide top-tier counsel.

We represent venture capital and private equity investors structuring their investment in portfolio companies, as well as representing portfolio companies in their capital raising activities and in implementing their growth strategies.

Beyond that one of our most important jobs is to connect the venture capitalists we know with the companies we represent. Our relationships with leading venture funds are a key part of our integrated service for emerging growth companies. One of our programs is a strategic tool for top venture capitalists to connect with promising companies. It also provides startup companies with practical business tools and advice.
