Experience
2025USD 5 million investment in a venture capital fund
Finance and investment
In a cross-border transaction, we advised a professional investment manager on a USD 5 million investment in a new venture capital fund. The transaction involved legal, regulatory and compliance matters, as well as the establishment of financing, profit-sharing and governance structures.
To identify potential risks in a timely manner, we developed a risk matrix and structured the transaction process in accordance with the project timetable and the client's business interests. During negotiations, we advised the client on transaction documentation and coordinated all related matters. To improve efficiency, we also used legal AI tools, enabling faster risk analysis and assessment of possible solutions.
Following negotiations lasting several months, the documentation was completed and the investment was successfully implemented.
