Private Equity/Venture Capital
Structuring investments,
promoting growth.
In recent years venture capital and private equity have become increasingly important sources of funding, not only for young and fast-growing companies, but also for more established businesses. We know and understand both sides of the market – financial investors as well as capital-hungry companies and their shareholders.
When it comes to venture capital, we advise investors (VC funds, corporate VCs and business angels) as well as young companies and their founders. As a start-up, you will benefit from our legal expertise and our wide-ranging experience in assisting clients in financing transactions.
If you are planning to sell investments or raise venture capital, we can also explain the various options open to you and put you in touch with reputable market players best suited to you and your company’s situation. This also increases the chances for a successful transaction – a transaction that is legally secure, strategically sound and reliable.
Our private equity team assists German, Luxembourg-based and international affiliated companies with every aspect and through every phase of their transactions – structuring, term sheet negotiations, letters of intent, sales agreements, shareholders’ agreements, management participation programmes, recapitalisation, exit strategies and dispute resolution.
