Fuel Growth: Expert Legal Support for Equity Financing Rounds
Whether it is about securing (pre-)seed funding or closing a Series A or later stage round, navigating the legal complexities of equity financing can be daunting. We’re here to make sure your funding round runs smoothly, protects your interests and vision, and positions the startup for future growth.
Our unique approach
Negotiating and closing an equity financing round is not just about raising money; it’s about building a solid foundation for a startup’s future. During financing rounds, we work alongside our clients every step of the way to streamline the process and help secure the best deal while safeguarding their interests.
Here’s how we can support:
-
Negotiating Deal Terms: We assist with setting the valuation, share class structuring and the negotiation of investor preferences and rights. We always take a pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach to ensure that the deal structure is acceptable to all sides and balances the interests of all parties, while still meeting your business objectives.
-
Due Diligence Support: We help manage the due diligence process, including data room management, to ensure that the legal aspects (including corporate documents, IP, employment and commercial contracts) are in order. We focus our due diligence on issues relevant to future growth to ensure that red flags can be addressed and resolved proactively.
-
Drafting Investment Documentation: We draft and negotiate term sheets, shareholder agreements, and investment agreements.
-
Closing the Deal: We take care of all the legal formalities from signing of the investment documentation to the closing, including notarization and registration of your funding round with the Commercial Register. Rest assured, we will get the deal done.
-
Cap Table Management: We provide guidance on equity preservation strategies, helping avoid unnecessary dilution and retain control of the startup.
Let’s close your funding round and build a solid legal foundation for future growth - together.
