Venture Capital & Private Equity

We start every matter with a focused mindset of getting a deal done, rather than only seeing the obstacles. This requires us to be both creative and practical in our approach. Our lawyers are experienced negotiators who are in the market every day closing sophisticated transactions. Our advice is grounded in a deep understanding of the market and how deal terms will affect short-term and long-term risk and economics.

We work with our clients on an intense, personal basis without having to field a large and costly team of lawyers on a project. Because all of our lawyers are trained with a core expertise in venture capital and mergers and acquisitions, we are able to function as legal quarterbacks to effectively represent our clients’ interests and get their deals closed quickly and efficiently. As a firm, we have an open architecture that allows us to bring in the best experts in specialized areas such as tax and regulatory matters without slowing down the process of getting deals done in an efficient manner. Unlike larger firms, our collaborative focus allows us to partner with the best experts suitable for a particular deal.

Our small team, boutique approach provides you with the right advice and excellent work product, but in a personal, efficient and very responsive way.

• Representation of PARx Solutions Inc.
  a leading pharmaceutical services business, on its strategic investment by WPP, Inc. The transaction involved intense commercial and financial negotiations and required that attorneys push a deal forward with strategic investors who were less concerned about timing than our cash-strapped client.

Acquisitions and investments have included significant investment positions in STA, a retail consignment chain known as 2nd Time Around; Dancing Deer Bakery; Sherrill Tree, an arborist supply company; and numerous other acquisitions. We are currently key advisors to Generation Equity Capital and counsel to its new $50 million private equity investment fund.

• Beliefnet.com, LifePosts.com and other new media companies
  Feinberg Hanson represented Beliefnet.com through its formation and multiple venture financings and ultimately its sale to Twentieth Century Fox.
