Finance/Private Equity

PRIVATE FINANCINGS AND PRIVATE INVESTMENT FUNDS

Our attorneys have strong connections to debt, equity and other sources of financings for your business, including experience in state and federal grants, loans, contracts and the SBIR programs. Getting your business financed is key to your success, and finding the right financing at the right time is key to a proper exit. Our attorneys work with our clients on all aspects of the financings, from the sourcing process to closing.

Additionally, if you are an angel investor, an angel group, VC fund, private equity fund, hedge fund, fund of fund or secondary fund, we have the expertise to assist you in the formation of your investing entity, including preparation of offering documents, navigating the fundraising process, general partner formation, investment due diligence and acquisition of your investment targets, including secondary fund interests.

ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION

If you are a high net worth investor or an endowment, foundation, private pension plan or other institutional investor reviewing investment opportunities in hedge funds, private equity funds, VC funds, real estate funds, opportunity funds or other similar investments, we have the expertise to assist with your legal due diligence, including navigating the investment process, completion of subscription materials, negotiating side letters and fund amendments, and reviewing ancillary fund documents that might require action during the life of the fund. We can represent you from your investment in the interest through liquidation of the fund or your earlier disposition of the interest as a secondary transaction.

MERGER & ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER LIQUIDATION EVENTS

Through the life-cycle of a business or a non-profit, a client may desire to acquire or merge with a competitor to grow market share, to create a subsidiary or affiliate to own certain assets or cater to different audiences, or sell a business as an exit strategy. We can assist in strategizing, working towards each goal, and executing the transaction. In some other cases, funding or customers have been too hard to find, thus requiring your company to sell off its assets, assign them to creditors or file for bankruptcy or dissolution. Our attorneys respect that this aspect can be difficult for the management team, employees, the board and the investors and will work with you to maximize the value of the business and wind down efficiently.
