### Seed capital and start-up transactions by venture capital firms
We advise funds, sponsors and executives on these types of investment and divestment, negotiating and documenting the typical ratchet provisions, preferential rights and employee stock option plans and other characteristic features of such transactions, such as exiting investments by disposal to industrial operators or IPOs on alternative markets.

We act on behalf of sellers, purchasing funds, managers and financing banks in all types of leveraged acquisitions. We perform due diligence reviews, prepare documentation on the structure, and draft and negotiate the transaction agreements. We are particularly active in acquisitions of listed companies with a view to their subsequent delisting, successive purchases in specific industries, secondary sales between funds, IPOs and sales to industrial operators.
