In the dynamic world of start-ups, we offer founders, venture capital investors and business angels comprehensive corporate law advice. Our aim is to support you with our expertise at every stage – from the incorporation of the start-up to financings rounds and a successful exit.
We support you in choosing the adequate legal form and navigate you through all the legal formalities concerning the incorporation of a German company. Our focus is on synchronizing the requirements of your founding team with the expectations of potential investors.
Top talents are the key to success. We develop specific employee participation programs such as Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) and Virtual Stock Option Plans (VSOPs) to motivate and retain your team in the long term.
We are also at your side after your start-up has been validly incorporated. Whether shareholder resolutions, managing director service agreements or the establishment of subsidiaries – we offer ongoing legal support to ensure that your start-up grows continuously and permanently.
We assist you in choosing the right type of financing – be it equity, convertible loans or hybrid forms of financing – and establish a solid legal basis that takes into account the interests of all parties and supports the further growth of your start-up.
From term sheets to investment/shareholders’ agreements and rules of procedure: With many years of experience, we draft agreements that fully correspond to market standards and take into account both the interests of the founders and the expectations of the investors
Early preparation is the key to any successful exit. We analyze the legal structures of your start-up, optimize these and eliminate any weaknesses or risks. In this respect, we increase the attractiveness of your start-up for any potential buyers or investors and avoid surprises in the sales process.
During the exit phase, we assist you in negotiations with any potential buyers, investors or other parties. We draft and review any and all relevant agreements – including purchase agreements, merger agreements and other transaction documents – and ensure that your interests are represented in the best possible way.
We also support you after a successful exit. We assist you in the winding-up of the transaction and advise successful founders on new investments in start-ups or on the legal structuring and allocation of their assets.
Whether you are a founder or an investor – we create the legal basis for your long-lasting success. Take advantage of our expertise in the venture capital sector.
