In a dynamic and capital-intensive industry, it is crucial to collaborate with advisors who understand both the market and the business model. With extensive experience in the venture capital market, we assist leading Norwegian and international VC funds (including US VC funds) – as well as seed funds, angel investors, accelerators, and founders – in establishing, structuring, investing in, and further developing growth companies.
We provide clear and tailored advice throughout the entire lifecycle – from the first investment round to exit. Together with our clients, we work to build companies with a solid legal foundation and a sustainable structure for further growth and access to capital.
We assist with, among other things:
- Structuring and executing investment rounds (pre-seed, seed, series A, B, C)
- Investments into Norwegian companies by Norwegian and international VC funds
- Facilitation for future exits or IPOs
- Customized incentive schemes for key personnel (MIP, ESOP, etc.)
- IP and technology agreements that protect the business model
- Tax and corporate structuring tailored for growth and investment
We provide insight-based advice in negotiations, including in demanding VC transactions and have extensive experience with negotiating investment agreements and shareholder agreements which align with both Norwegian legal requirements and market practice and requirements from US and other international VC funds.
Our broad transaction experience and in-depth knowledge of the start-up and scale-up ecosystem make us a valuable sparring partner – both for growth companies and for the VC funds that invest in them.
