Description
New York's entrepreneur community continues to grow, both geographically across the boroughs and into new technologies and industries. Whether it's disrupting familiar industries with new technologies, creating entirely new industries, or even bringing new approaches to old problems, our tech scene is thriving, generating jobs, and drawing investment from a myriad of sources. This CLE will give you an end-to-end view of representing companies in venture financing transactions, with practical tips for efficient negotiation and execution and a focus on business issues that attorneys can - and should - bear in mind as they advise their clients, regardless of which party they are representing. The faculty will start with a baseline discussion of preparing your client for a venture financing transaction, including addressing issues related to corporate governance and intellectual property. Next, the faculty will discuss the regulatory framework for venture financing transactions. Finally, the faculty will discuss key provisions that attorneys must address in setting the terms of the venture financing deal, including valuation and other economic terms, the different forms that these transactions can take, and common issues that can derail deals.
