Private Equity & Venture Capital

Drawing on our own entrepreneurial spirit, legal knowledge and business experience, Much Shelist helps individuals, private-equity funds, institutional investors and a range of other groups and businesses identify and capitalize on new opportunities. We work with clients to weigh the risks and rewards of potential investments and to structure agreements that minimize exposure while maximizing potential returns. We also assist clients with developing next-phase and exit strategies when investment objectives are not achieved.

We work with clients in every phase of the investment cycle, from raising venture capital to initial public offerings, mergers and acquisitions and beyond. We provide guidance with regard to:

  • convertible securities
  • corporate governance
  • due diligence
  • equity rights, transfer restrictions and exit strategies
  • leveraged buyouts
  • management buyouts
  • private investments
  • recapitalizations
  • stockholder and stockholder redemption agreements
  • subordinated and mezzanine debt, and structured finance transactions
  • tax-advantaged investment structures
  • venture capital
