Becker & Poliakoff

Private Equity & Venture Capital

Our clients invest in private and public companies in transactions involving preferred stock, subordinated debt, and other types of securities. In many cases, these transactions result in the investor holding a minority interest in the issuer, and we are adept at formulating structures and provisions that protect the interests of these minority investors. We also represent majority investors and issuers in the negotiation of a wide range of financial and strategic investments.

We advise private equity funds, venture capital firms, and their portfolio companies on a variety of transactions, including fund formation, investments, and exits.

Contract Negotiation and Drafting

We draft and negotiate a wide range of commercial contracts, including licensing, distribution, supply, and service agreements. By leveraging our industry knowledge and strategic approach, we deliver tailored solutions that safeguard our clients’ businesses and drive success.

Exit Strategies and Succession Planning

  • Advising on exit strategies, including mergers, acquisitions, and IPOs.
  • Developing comprehensive succession plans to ensure a smooth transition of ownership and management.

Our experienced attorneys provide practical, business-oriented advice tailored to your specific needs. We work closely with our clients to develop innovative solutions that meet their business objectives.
