Venture capital investment work covers helping growth companies raise equity or debt funding from specialist funds and negotiating terms with investors, including term sheets, shareholder agreements, and protective provisions. A solicitor drafts and reviews investment agreements, negotiates valuation, governance rights, liquidation preferences, and exit mechanics, and assists with due diligence, regulatory disclosures, and corporate housekeeping under the Companies Act and related rules. It also covers negotiating exits and post-investment governance arrangements.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The provisions, structures and interactions involved—shareholder protections, liquidation preferences, anti-dilution, board control, and exit terms—drive substantial complexity. The solicitor handles due diligence packs, term sheets, stock options, and regulatory filings, with attention to corporate governance and regulatory compliance from inception through to exit.
