Transaction Design
We work with management and counsel to design the instrument — equity, mezzanine or structured credit — that best balances cost of capital, control and flexibility for the issuer.
Practice Area 02
Structuring and placing equity, mezzanine, and structured-credit issuances for growth-stage and pre-IPO enterprises.
Scope of Work
We design the instrument around the issuer's constraints — common or preferred equity, mezzanine, convertible or structured credit — balancing cost of capital, dilution, control and covenant flexibility. The right structure is settled before any investor conversation begins.
Offering memoranda, financial models and the data room are prepared to the standard sophisticated institutions expect — anticipating diligence questions before they are asked, and removing the friction that stalls otherwise sound transactions.
We advise on valuation, pricing tension and covenant packages throughout negotiation, working alongside the issuer's legal counsel to protect economics and control while preserving transaction momentum.
From first meeting to final close, we sequence commitments, maintain competitive tension among participants and coordinate counsel, diligence and documentation through to completion.
