Startup and Venture Capital

Investor Services

At Kilam Law, our Startup and Venture Capital Department is committed to supporting investors in making informed and secure investment decisions. We understand that the investment process can be complex, and we offer a comprehensive range of services designed to safeguard your interests and ensure the success of your investments. Here’s how we can assist you:

Due diligence

Due diligence is a critical step in the investment process. We help investors identify any potential risks or red flags associated with a business or company, ensuring that these risks are understood and, where possible, mitigated. By thoroughly investigating all relevant facts, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the company’s financials, operations, and legal status. Once the information is collected, we prepare a detailed red flag report that allows you to make an informed investment decision with confidence.

Negotiations

Negotiating the terms of an investment is a complex process that requires expertise in both the legal and financial aspects. Our lawyers are here to guide you through every stage of the negotiation, ensuring that your business interests are fully protected. Whether you are funding a startup or an emerging company with high growth potential, we will help you understand the legal implications of the deal, enabling you to focus on the development and expansion of your business.

Review of legal documents

Before committing to any agreement or contract, it’s crucial to have it reviewed by a legal expert to ensure that your interests are protected. We assist in reviewing all types of legal documents that could have significant financial, time, or responsibility implications. Whether it's a funding agreement or an operational contract, we ensure that the terms are clear and fair, reducing the risk of future disputes or unexpected obligations.

Investment strategy

After conducting a thorough review of all relevant facts and information, we offer expert advice on the most suitable investment strategy for your needs. Our team helps you determine the best route for your investment, considering your goals, risk tolerance, and the potential for growth in the targeted business.

Drafting of transactional documents

Kilam Law also specializes in drafting essential transactional documents for investors. We assist with creating term sheets, Simple Agreements for Future Equity (SAFEs), convertible notes, shareholding agreements, and investor agreements. Our tailored approach ensures that these documents accurately reflect your intentions and protect your rights throughout the investment process.

Post-Investment Compliance

Once your investment has been made, we provide ongoing support to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements. We assist with making necessary filings with government agencies, helping you navigate post-investment obligations and ensuring that your business remains in good standing.
