Practice areas/Venture capital
Venture capital and startups
We act for funds and investors and for portfolio companies, from incorporation to exit.
What we do
Incorporation and structure
Corporate form, articles of association, founders' agreement, allocation of equity and vesting.
Investment rounds
Convertible loans, term sheets, investment agreements and shareholders' agreements, in structuring, diligence and negotiation.
Equity plans
Options, restricted shares and equivalent instruments, with attention to the corporate and employment effects of the chosen design.
Outside general counsel
Many portfolio companies reach their first round with no legal department. For those, there is a recurring arrangement, with scope and fee agreed by period.
