EMERGING COMPANIES AND VENTURE CAPITAL

Our emerging companies and venture capital practice includes representation of both investors and emerging companies, many of which are venture-backed or seeking venture capital investment. Our clients include very early stage companies that are seeking their seed round of venture capital investment, companies that are seeking expansion capital in advance of an initial public offering or transformational transaction and growth companies that are facing new legal issues associated with expanding their business into new product lines, markets or geographies. In addition to our corporate capabilities, we have a leading intellectual property practice that provides expert advice to our emerging company clients on how best to protect and license their patents and other intellectual property as they grow their business. We have experience in all of the major industry sectors attracting venture capital, including software products and services, hardware and other equipment manufacturing, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and telecommunications.
