Venture Capital, Private Equity and Fund Formation

Venture Capital, Private Equity and Fund Formation

Our attorneys have a substantial practice in representing clients with matters regarding angel based, private equity and venture capital funds, capital formation and raising and the documentation and structuring of investments in portfolio companies, with a particular emphasis in the private placement of securities. With more than twenty years of experience in Arkansas and throughout the United States, the venture capital and private equity attorneys of Smith Hurst have substantial experience and contacts to assist our clients’ businesses in taking their next steps for growth and development.

Our venture capital law group often provides sophisticated legal counsel to individual financiers and investors, angel funds, company management, private equity firms, and venture capital firms seeking to invest capital in companies and counsel emerging businesses seeking capital from such sources.  We have vast experience in leveraged buyouts and acquisitions, management buyouts, and the formation and operation of private equity funds and funds of funds.  

We appreciate the legal, business, and financial issues facing emerging and intellectual property-driven companies and strive to work with these companies to obtain capital and financing from other sources successfully.  We also have substantial experience in tax, securities and entity laws that provide a solid foundation to provide advice to these clients.

Fund Formation and Fund Investments

We counsel clients in the formation of a wide range of private investment funds. Our attorneys advise clients on all aspects of fund formation, from achieving a tax-efficient structure and compliance with applicable securities laws to ancillary objectives, such as personal tax planning and structuring for fund managers. We offer an integrated approach that incorporates the extensive knowledge of our securities, tax, and corporate lawyers to guide our private investment fund clients through the entire range of legal issues involved in the formation process. We also advise institutional venture capital investors, endowments, large companies and high-net-worth individuals investing in funds and funds of funds.
