Financing Expertise


Term Sheet Negotiation & Structuring

We negotiate and structure venture and growth financings from the term sheet stage, advising on valuation, economics, governance, and control. Our focus is on aligning capital needs with long-term strategy while avoiding terms that create friction in future financings or exit transactions.

Priced Equity & Growth Rounds

We represent companies and investors in priced equity rounds, including Series Seed through later-stage and growth equity financings. We lead drafting and negotiation of core financing documents and manage the closing process to deliver clean, efficient execution.

Governance & Investor Rights

We advise on board composition, voting rights, protective provisions, and information rights in connection with venture and growth financings. Our work emphasizes practical governance structures that support decision-making without constraining the business.

Convertible & Early-Stage Financings

We advise on SAFEs, convertible notes, and other early-stage instruments, helping founders and investors balance speed with appropriate protections. We focus on structuring terms that convert cleanly and do not distort incentives or governance as companies scale.

Secondary Transactions & Liquidity

We advise founders, early investors, and funds on secondary transactions and liquidity events, including structured secondaries and founder sales. We focus on transfer mechanics, consent requirements, and economics that directly affect proceeds and closing certainty.

Venture Debt & Structured Financings

We advise on venture debt and other structured financing arrangements that supplement equity capital. Our work includes negotiating credit terms, intercreditor dynamics, and covenants that impact operational flexibility and future transactions.
