The attorneys in Tucker Ellis’s Private Equity & Venture Capital Group are more than lawyers—we are deal-makers. We understand that our job is not to stand in the way, but to facilitate the closing of our clients’ deals. Our team has the know-how and experience necessary to advise sponsors, investors, and companies in matters throughout the entire deal process: from financing the acquisition of a business – to operating and expanding it – to its eventual sale. Experienced in relevant corporate, financing, and securities laws, we seek a deep understanding of not only each client’s current transactions, but also its overall business. This enables us to provide valuable, relevant, and timely business counseling to our clients.
Our team routinely represents investors, private equity funds, fundless sponsors, and venture capital funds – as well as their portfolio companies – and owners of companies that are attractive private equity targets. We advise our clients in all areas relating to transactions and post-acquisition operation of their business for both private and publicly traded companies. We provide ongoing representation to the companies in which our private equity clients invest, both publicly traded and privately held, across many different industries.
Our client service team’s talents combine our broad experience in corporate counseling and governance; securities; federal, state, and local taxes; environmental; and employment and benefits, including union labor matters and intellectual property matters – resulting in top-notch, efficient, and cost-effective team representation.
We continue to prove, through our commitment to alternative fee arrangements based on our clients’ needs, that we are willing to have real "skin-in-the-game." Our commitment to sharing transaction risks aligns our interests with our clients, allowing us to be true partners in their success. Tucker Ellis focuses on what really matters to our clients—accomplishments—and we offer creative and flexible alternative fee arrangements to serve them best.
