Culhane Law, National Transactions and Business Attorneys for Entrepreneurs, Investors and Deal Makers

The Culhane Law attorneys work with private equity funds, venture capital funds, angel investors, family offices, portfolio managers and entrepreneurs to provide experienced counsel in business transactions.

Getting Emerging Growth Businesses Funded Through Private Placements and Securities Offerings

Successful capital raising requires far more than a website and a pitch deck. Investors want substance and predictability. And entrepreneurs need protection. Entrepreneurs only get one shot at an investor, and it is critical they have their company properly structured and documented to close the deal quickly.

Recent changes to securities laws provide greater opportunities for start-up and emerging growth companies to raise capital through Regulation D private placements, intra-state offerings, crowd funding and Regulation A offerings. Our attorneys have the experience you need to help entrepreneurs and business owners raise capital, and do it in compliance with federal and state securities laws.

Deals, Mergers & Acquisitions

When entrepreneurs, owners or management pursue opportunities for growth or an exit, they need an experienced deal lawyer. Similarly, investors and buyers need experienced legal counsel to keep their deal on track, on budget and on time. Whether the priority is shareholder liquidity, an acquisition to fuel growth or an exit, our lawyers have the knowledge and experience needed for what may be the most important transaction of your career.

Time kills deals. Investors, buyers, sellers and their deal professionals need to be certain the transaction is properly structured and executed. The longer a transaction drags on, the greater the deal risk. Culhane Law’s deal lawyers know how to structure the deal, conduct due diligence, negotiate the definitive documents and manage the process to get you to the closing table.

As experienced corporate attorneys, we understand that a successful transaction often requires approval from decision-makers who aren’t present during negotiations. We recognize the importance of communication and transparency to ensure stakeholder buy-in. We help sellers and management identify critical stakeholders, including investors, shareholders, board members, funders, lenders and secured parties who need to be advised of the transaction, and provide education and consulting services to ensure that all the necessary approvals are received and fiduciary duties are met.
