Private equity & venture capital

Our specialist team of investment lawyers has advised on hundreds of private equity and venture capital transactions, whether advising professional investors, management teams or businesses seeking investment.  Our advice covers:

• Investments at all stages of a company’s life including start up, early stage, growth and development capital.
• Management Buy-Outs and Buy-Ins
• Leveraged Buy-Outs
• Secondary and Portfolio Acquisitions

Our advice to investors helps them to maximise their returns and minimise their risk.  We also help management teams through the difficult process of negotiating with an incoming investor.  Together with our Banking team, we also advise banks on the provision of debt finance to assist a private equity backed transaction.  This experience helps our clients understand the interests of the other parties to the transactions, allowing them to adapt their negotiating strategies accordingly, ensuring their position is protected and their opportunities maximised.

We also advise secondary investors acquiring portfolios of existing investments, where we are experienced in analysing the differing corporate structures of the portfolio companies and tailoring the acquisition accordingly.
