Advice on venture capital financing

Venture Capital ("VC") is a special form of financing for ambitious startup companies, which VC investors predict a long-term growth potential. DSC Legal advises both startups raising VC and VC investors in financing rounds during the various development stages of a startup (early stage, expansion, later stage), whereby the following aspects are relevant:

• Drafting, review and negotiation of term sheets (LoI) and confidentiality agreements (NDA)
  
  
• Analysis, review and evaluation of the legal situation of a startup (due diligence)
  
  
• Drafting, reviewing and negotiating of investment agreements and shareholders’ agreements
  
  
• Drafting, adjusting and reviewing of the contract documentation associated with investment agreements (i.e. articles of association, directors’ service contracts, internal rules for management and employee participation agreements)
  
  
• Tax-optimized structuring (through our cooperation partner Klotz & Assoziierte Steuerberatungsgesellschaft mbH)
  
  
• Legal and tax support in the disinvestment stage (exit)
  
  
• Out-of-court and judicial enforcement of claims arising from investment agreements
