At the early stage of obtaining an investor, the focus isn’t solely on the agreement itself but on how the company will look post-transaction. Bringing in capital always shifts the balance of power—sometimes subtly, sometimes fundamentally. This is the moment when law ceases to be a background concern and starts shaping the future of the company, decision-making processes, and the boundaries of ownership freedom.
We work with entrepreneurs, investors, and Private Equity and Venture Capital funds from the very beginning of the investment process. We help structure, document, and align ownership relations to be clear, actionable, and tailored to the company’s stage of development, with long-term goals in mind for both parties involved in the transaction. This way, the investment becomes a consciously planned step, not a point where one party loses influence over key decisions.
How We Help in the Investment Process?
Preparing the Company for the Investment Process
We organize the ownership structure, corporate documentation, conduct vendor due diligence, and verify key risk areas from both the company’s and investor’s perspective, ensuring the investment process is smooth and predictable.
Negotiating Investment Terms
We assist in discussions about valuation, control, corporate rights, protective mechanisms, and post-transaction collaboration terms.
Investment Transaction Structure
We design capital and debt investment models, on behalf of the company or investor, tailored to financial needs, risk profiles, and the planned investment horizon.
Due Diligence
We conduct and coordinate legal and tax due diligence, including both vendor due diligence and investor-side due diligence, identifying risks and areas that need to be addressed before closing the deal.
Investment Documentation
We prepare and negotiate investment agreements, shareholder agreements, statutes, and documents regulating post-investment relations, representing the interests of either or both parties in the transaction.
Securing Interests of Both Parties
We structure mechanisms to protect both the investor and founders, including exit clauses, vesting, lock-ups, information rights, and management liability, ensuring a balance between protecting capital and maintaining operational freedom.
Finalizing the Transaction and Post-Transaction Steps
We assist with the closing of the transaction and the initial decisions post-investor entry, ensuring consistency in documentation and operational practices.
