Private Investment Transactions
Direct investments, co-investments and structured equity for private investors, family offices and sponsors, negotiated to protect their position.
In a private investment, the documents are the investor’s main protection. Information rights, preferences, anti-dilution, transfer restrictions and consent rights determine whether a minority position carries real influence or simply waits on someone else’s exit.
We represent investors in negotiating and documenting private investments across stages and structures.
What we handle
- Direct and minority equity investments
- Co-investments alongside sponsors and funds
- Preferred equity and structured investments
- SAFE and convertible investments from the investor side
- Investor rights, side letters and governance terms
- Secondary purchases and investor exits
How we work
We read a deal the way it will be tested: in a down round, a dispute or a sale. That lets investors focus negotiation on the protections that matter most for their position.
