H³GM attorneys have substantial experience representing clients raising funds in venture capital and private placement transactions. We also regularly represent venture capital firms in equity transactions and have helped clients organize investment funds. Our experiences on both sides of venture capital transactions enable us to anticipate the business concerns and expectations of the parties and devise workable, innovative solutions to potential obstacles. This representation regularly involves assisting start-up clients with business plans, preparing disclosure documents, negotiating stock purchase agreements, registration rights, preferences, anti-dilution provisions, voting rights, warrants, shareholders agreements, employment agreements, placement agent agreements, put and call provisions, and co-sale rights.

We have recently helped our corporate and venture capital clients complete in excess of $1 billion in venture capital and other private transactions. These transactions funded businesses in industries such as healthcare, information technology, biotechnology, life sciences, retail services, and manufacturing. Our experience includes:

• Seed capital transactions
• Convertible and hybrid securities
• Preferred and common stock placements
• Recapitalizations
• Exit transactions including selling shareholder public offerings
• Angel investments
• Going-private transactions
• Founding Venture Funds
