Representing private companies as they seek venture capital or seed money from angel investors has been a staple of our practice since our firm was founded in 1975. We represent private companies in negotiating the right fit with potential investors, and assist them in receiving financing on terms that are fair. We also represent companies in private placement transactions, such as with placement agents and traditional institutional investors. Finally, we represent a number of venture capital funds as they invest in new or existing companies. Our experience and contacts are valuable assets to our clients.

We recognize and appreciate the challenges and risks our clients face in transforming their concepts and ideas into thriving businesses. From the ground up, new companies must formulate a business plan, assemble the right management team, and secure the funding needed to establish, execute, and expand the business. We are a dependable and resourceful partner each step of the way, up to and including venture capital funding and beyond.

Venture capital has played a crucial role in the development of Southern California's diverse economy and we have been a part of that for 35 years. We have helped form some of the region's leading funds, and we work with the most prominent funds in the world on Southern California transactions. Today we help companies find financing and help financiers to find the top brands of tomorrow.  

We have helped hundreds of companies raise billions of dollars in venture capital financing from leading funds. We are second to none in Southern California in our focus on representing start-up companies seeking venture capital financing. We regularly represent venture capital and other private equity firms, and have represented more venture capital-backed companies than any law firm headquartered in Southern California.
