Naschitz Brandes Amir’s attorneys have unrivaled experience representing private equity and venture capital funds, angel investors, consortiums, portfolio companies, start-up companies, and management groups across the full spectrum of transactions including leveraged buyouts and recapitalizations, mergers and acquisitions, venture financings, public offerings, executive compensation, and other corporate matters. We also represent clients in connection with the formation and operation of funds, as well as their respective management companies. We also regularly advise private institutional investors covering the full cycle of their investments in private equity, mezzanine, venture, hedge, and other funds.
Our private equity and venture capital team draws on the experience of attorneys from our largest and strongest practices, including Corporate, Environmental, Intellectual Property, Tax, Employment, and Litigation to provide clients with efficient and comprehensive support and help them realize their objectives.
Leveraged Buyouts and Recapitalizations
We act as counsel to private equity funds, portfolio companies, and management teams in all aspects of leveraged acquisitions, recapitalizations, and other related private equity transactions, including acquisitions and divestitures, senior and mezzanine financing, equity financing, and seller financing.
Venture Capital Financing
We have substantial experience representing venture capital investors and portfolio companies in private equity transactions from seed stage and first-round investments to later stage and follow-on investments. Together with attorneys in our Capital Markets and M&A practices, we advise our fund and portfolio company clients in connection with private placements, structuring, and executing exit and partial liquidity transactions.
From the enterprise side, we offer a broad range of services in support of all aspects of establishing and growing the company, including business plan review, business structuring, and debt and equity financing. We routinely advise entrepreneurs and emerging businesses on the mechanisms available to them to fund their business ventures.
Fund Formation
We represent private equity sponsors, investors, and placement agents, in connection with the formation, regulation, and operation of pooled investment vehicles or funds. Our lawyers also represent these funds in acquisitions, financing, and exit transactions and provide transactional and general corporate advice to portfolio companies.
In many cases, we also handle the formation of mirror funds in various locations to invest in tandem with Israel-related portfolio companies. We also provide guidance on legal and administrative requirements, including Israeli and international tax issues, preparation of offering documentation, drafting management agreements, negotiating terms and conditions of transactions, investments and divestments of funds, investor relations, liquidation of funds, and reporting issues.
