Private Capital Lawyer
It’s not surprising that a lack of access to capital stifles many great business ideas. Commercial banks are often only willing to provide adequate working capital to a business after it succeeds. At the same time, companies face financial challenges, reaching the stage where they have access to commercial lenders or are limited in their ability to raise adequate capital from commercial lenders to fund maximum growth.
At MPL Law Firm, we have experience in private debt and equity transactions. Our clients have close relationships with financial advisors and investors who assist companies in raising the capital they need to grow.
The Advantages of Legal Guidance for Private Capital Transactions
Private capital investments continue to grow in volume and total deal value. As this area develops, those seeking private capital must navigate ever-changing legal and compliance requirements, among other challenges. Legal support provides many benefits for private capital raising, including:
- Regulatory compliance: Meet local and international laws with reduced risk of financial or legal delays during the deal process.
- Deal structuring: Gain advice regarding the most tax-efficient and commercially sound structure for your deal and navigate complex fund or investment agreements more easily.
- Dispute resolution: Legal professionals proactively address potential conflicts and provide strategies for resolving disputes, should they arise.
- Strategic guidance: Lawyers help you make today’s deal while planning for future exits, growth or restructuring with tailored guidance that suits your business goals and market trends.
Our Private Capital Services
Private capital transactions often involve complex regulatory, tax and governance considerations. MPL Associates helps you navigate all the nuances involved in raising private capital.
We can assist you with the deal structure and preparation of legal documents necessary for funding by a private investor. At this stage, we provide counsel on optimal legal structure, whether a partnership, fund, or joint venture, based on the client’s objective and regulatory considerations. We also assist with security law compliance, including the preparation of private placement memorandum (PPM), making the necessary SEC Form D filings and any state Blue Sky law filings and helping to assemble the right team to raise the capital you need.
From there, we prepare the required legal documentation tailored to the deal structure and investment terms — we help negotiate with angel investors, private equity funds, or venture capital investors to get the best deal possible. We draft and negotiate investor rights and protections while structuring the financial provisions of the agreement to align with regulatory and strategic objectives.
During the deal closing process, we help organize the execution of agreements and funds transfers. As issues arise, we’ll find solutions and keep your transaction on course — using persistence and attention to detail to get the deal closed and funded.
