Investment Funds & High-Tech

Our firm’s high-tech department is among the leading departments in Israel, comprising experienced and creative lawyers who provide our clients with guidance and advice on the most innovative issues – both legal and commercial – that are rapidly developing, using a dynamic business perspective.

The high-tech department includes representation of startups and investment funds – venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) funds.

Establishment of Funds and Support in Their Investments (Venture Capital and Private Equity Funds)

Our firm is one of the leading firms in Israel in the establishment, representation, and support of venture capital and private equity funds in a wide range of fields. Our attorneys have extensive experience in setting up investment funds – including debt funds, venture capital funds, secondary funds, “fund of funds,” and more.

We also represent fund managers, accompany investments, advise on the ongoing management of the fund, and all matters related to their relationship with their portfolio companies.

Among our clients are private investors (angels), private equity funds, venture capital funds, and major institutional investors in all sectors of the technology field.

Our team has unique experience in handling the succession of venture capital funds – the transition from the founding generation to the younger generation.

Supporting Startups: Establishment, Fundraising Rounds, Commercial Contracts, Exit Support

We accompany startups in all stages, from inception, through all stages of the company’s life, including founders’ agreements, employment agreements, option plans and agreements, licensing agreements, commercial agreements with suppliers, customers, joint ventures, and, of course, investment rounds and ongoing support.

The startups we represent include all sectors of high-tech in Israel, the USA, and across Europe, engaging in a wide range of fields, including software companies, artificial intelligence (AI), cyber-security, auto-tech and mobility, cloud services, gaming, augmented reality (AR), medical devices, bio-technology, and more.

Our attorneys leverage the extensive experience gained from working with investment funds and venture capital funds in Israel and around the world to advise entrepreneurs and companies on their relationship with investors, building the right business model for company investment, selling the company, merging, or selling its activities.

Our department team also advises startups in the exit process – from defining the structure of the transaction, through all stages of the transaction, including preparing transaction documents, negotiating with buyers or investors, overseeing the due diligence process that matches the expectations of the investor or buyer and more.

Our firm accompanies high-tech companies and investment funds in building option plans, employee option grant agreements, labor law issues that arise during mergers and acquisitions, and other employee rights issues.
