Meet Yasemin La Riva

Yasemin La Riva 

Associate (Legal) & Marketing

I am a qualified lawyer with expertise in venture capital and corporate law, with a strong focus on startups, communication, and business development. As a businessperson who happened to become a lawyer, I understand the pain points of founders and investors firsthand. This allows me to provide not only legal expertise but also practical, strategic guidance to help them tackle challenges and make informed decisions.

Throughout my career, I have played a key role in high-impact investment deals, M&A transactions, and the development of legal frameworks that support scaling ventures. I have also led legal departments, advised on ESG strategies, and contributed to shaping the legal infrastructure of major organizations. I have worked with both top-tier and emerging venture capital funds, gaining hands-on experience in investment deals, legal strategy, and business development. This range of experiences has made me versatile and equipped me with a broad skill set to navigate different challenges in the venture space. Additionally, I have had the chance to work internationally in advisory roles across corporate law and technology transfer.

I hold an LL.M. from the University of Lausanne and have further specialized in venture capital law at Berkeley Law. Beyond my legal career, I am working on a personal venture centered around design and creativity. In my free time, I enjoy playing squash, playing the piano, and embracing winter with cold-water swimming—best followed by a well-deserved fondue!
