Accelerate your investment or partnership
We advise investors and corporates on all aspects of law concerning their engagement with promising startups, including the establishment of a fund, vehicle or joint venture, capital raising, debt financing and ultimately realisation of the investment through exit.
Venture capital
We understand that the needs of startups differ from those of major corporates and we tailor our offering for investors to reflect the scale, complexity and speed of startup investments.
Our services for investors cover the lifetime of the investment from the establishment of vehicles (including VCLPs & ESVCLPs), deployment of capital, and following the investment through to exit.
We are well versed in venture capital style investments – we have one of the leading M&A teams in Australia and have extensive experience assisting clients with their investments in entrepreneurial and high-growth businesses.
Strategic investors
We understand the commercial and strategic drivers of high-growth companies and recognise that investments into this sector are not about immediate returns but embarking on a journey to grow and explore opportunities.
We help corporates to set up the structures and practices necessary to ensure you have the best opportunity to achieve your goals, from assisting you to establish a unique joint venture, co-developing a proof-of-concept or connecting you with our portfolio of leading high-growth emerging company clients and business leaders.
