Our Venture Capital practice advises emerging companies, venture funds and investors across the full spectrum of the private investment landscape, combining extensive transactional experience with the responsiveness and efficiency that growing businesses and active investors require.
With a deep understanding of the pace and complexity of venture transactions, we provide practical, business-oriented counsel that helps clients close deals efficiently and position themselves for long-term success. Our attorneys take a relationship-driven approach, investing the time to understand each client’s objectives, risk profile and business philosophy so we can deliver advice that aligns with both immediate needs and strategic goals.
We structure, negotiate and execute financings that balance speed, efficiency and the protection of long-term value. Our team works across sectors and stages, offering market-informed guidance on deal terms, governance rights and regulatory considerations.
Beyond transaction execution, we serve as strategic partners to our clients. We advise emerging companies on formation, governance and fundraising strategy and assist venture funds with fund formation, portfolio management and liquidity events. Drawing on the firm’s strengths in M&A, intellectual property, securities, real estate and tax, we provide seamless support from formation through exit.
Whether representing a first-time founder completing an initial seed round or a venture fund pursuing a complex cross-border investment, our goal is the same: to help clients build enduring relationships, capture opportunity and achieve successful outcomes in a dynamic market environment.
