When raising capital to start or grow your business is at stake, the experience of our skilled legal team can make the difference between closing the deal and falling short.  T&L’s attorneys have more than a decade of experience counseling numerous issuers in a wide variety of industries in connection with capital formation activities ranging from “friends & family” through professional venture capital rounds of financing.  Structuring capital formation transactions requires not only a thorough understanding of the myriad of federal and state (and international) laws and rules governing investment offerings, but also an appreciation for issuer and founders’ concerns such as valuation, maintaining enterprise control, and managing/mitigating dilution.

T&L’s expertise in capital formation transactions is not limited to sell-side representation.  The firm regularly represents corporate clients, venture capital firms, private equity funds, high net worth investors, and institutional investors in connection with their investment activities in growing businesses in all industries.
