Venture Capital

Representing entrepreneurs and emerging growth companies raising seed capital from angel investors and venture capital funds has been a staple of the firm since its inception in 1975. From setting up some of the region’s leading companies and venture capital funds to assisting global players making investments into emerging growth enterprises, we have helped thousands of companies raise and deploy billions of dollars in venture capital financing. 

Our attorneys know what it takes to help early stage and growing companies get the footing they need to be successful. Our close relationships with our venture capital fund clients and other funding sources in the venture ecosystem give us opportunities to introduce clients to sources of funding. Stradling regularly advises clients with regard to investments, as well as the full spectrum of securities, tax, and regulatory issues typically associated with such transactions.

Stradling represents startups and emerging growth companies in negotiating the right fit with potential investors, and assists them in receiving financing on terms that are fair, balanced, and appropriate.

Stradling also counsels a number of venture capital funds and public corporations as they invest in leading emerging growth enterprises. Our attorneys are also actively involved in advising funds and public corporations in corporate governance and management.

Stradling has experience in a wide range of financing structures, including:

• Seed and subsequent funding rounds
• Bridge loans
• Mezzanine financings
• Public offerings
• PIPE transactions
