Providing comprehensive services, we advise venture sponsors through the full life cycle of investment, from formation to exit.
The venture capital fund formation attorneys at Shartsis Friese advise venture capital sponsors and investors across the full lifecycle of fund formation, investment execution and portfolio management. We represent first-time managers, established venture capital firms and hybrid crossover sponsors deploying capital in early stage, growth and late-stage opportunities.
Offering a highly experienced attorney team, we help clients structure fund platforms that accommodate varied investor bases, from institutional LPs to family offices and corporate strategic investors. Services include drafting fund documents, advising on co-investment and follow-on structures, and designing carried-interest and management-company arrangements that align incentives across the team.
Our approach reflects the realities of venture investing: fast-moving markets, evolving financing structures and active portfolio support. With deep experience in fund formation and a strong understanding of emerging company dynamics, we help sponsors operate efficiently while maintaining flexibility to capture opportunity.
