Mergers & Acquisitions
Most of an acquisition is decided in diligence, not at signing, so the firm prepares the record long before a transaction is contemplated and keeps the entity and governance records a buyer examines ready for review.
- Buyer diligence preparation
- Transaction documents and negotiation
- Asset and stock purchase structure

Venture Capital Financing
A financing is priced on terms that are hard to unwind once they reach the term sheet, so the firm negotiates on the company’s side and clears cap table and governance issues before an investor’s counsel sees them.
- Term sheet and financing documents
- Company-side due diligence
- SAFEs and convertible notes

Frequently Asked Questions
When does a company need a business law attorney rather than per-matter help?
As deal volume rises, the work shifts from one-off contracts to financings, acquisitions, and the diligence behind them. An attorney who knows the company can price risk and paper terms before they harden, which tends to reduce renegotiation and diligence surprises later.
What do investors and acquirers examine in diligence?
Diligence often covers entity and governance records, the cap table, material contracts, and intellectual property ownership. Companies that keep these in order before a transaction is contemplated tend to move through review faster and on better terms.
How does venture capital financing differ from an acquisition?
A financing sells equity to fund growth and is priced on terms set in the term sheet. An acquisition transfers the business or its assets and turns largely on buyer diligence. Each calls for counsel on the company’s side from the first draft.
Which contracts carry the most exposure as a company scales?
The commercial agreements signed at volume carry the most: master services agreements, vendor and customer terms, and the agreements a buyer or investor later reads. Tighter terms on these tend to reduce disputes and renegotiation over time.
