Venture Capital

For founders and entrepreneurs, landing their first investment and backers is a significant milestone. We work with companies from their earliest stage, advising on appropriate share structures for founders and then guiding them through the myriad of potential investment reliefs and options (literally, in the case of awards to employees!), to ensure that the value they create in their business is not damaged by a lack of early planning.

We act on both sides of venture capital – from advising companies and founders on investment by venture capital investors to acting for high net worth individuals on their investments into fast growth companies. Following initial investment, we support founders through follow-on rounds and on to exit and, with the advice and support of our leading Private Wealth team, are also able to advise founders on asset protection post-exit.
