Venture Capital
We advise founders, growth companies, venture capital investors and business angels on financing rounds, investments and exits.
An investment brings more than new capital. It establishes rights and expectations around ownership, decision-making and how value will be shared. We help clients understand these arrangements and negotiate terms that address the immediate funding needs while taking account of future rounds and a potential exit.
Our advice covers the process from the initial term sheet through investment documentation and completion. We assist with investment and shareholders' agreements, convertible financing and bridge rounds, as well as the corporate decisions needed to implement the investment.
We also advise on founder arrangements and incentive programmes. This includes how equity is earned over time, what happens when someone leaves and how the interests of founders, key employees and investors can be aligned as the business develops.
Whether you are raising capital or investing it, we provide practical advice on the choices that affect your position now and in the future.
