Attorneys in our Private Equity and Venture Capital group regularly represent private equity funds, financial institutions, venture capital funds, institutional investors and superangels in a wide range of private equity related activities, including:

LBOs/MBOs/Recapitalization Transactions
We regularly represent private equity funds, management groups and other investors in a variety of leveraged buy-outs, management buy-outs, management buy-ins, and recapitalization transactions.

Fund Formation
We advise clients on establishing investment entities addressing such critical fund features as management fees, carried interest, investment restrictions, securities compliance and distributions. We also work with our clients as they raise capital from investors, and address the numerous securities law issues that arise along the way.

Venture Capital/Superangel Investments
We have extensive experience representing companies in all stages of growth. We have experience representing venture capital funds in the Southeast, nationally, and offshore. We have a significant focus on emerging sectors such as technology, life sciences and biotechnology, telecommunications and media, and a wide variety of traditional industries.

Securities Offering/IPOs
We represent issuers and underwriters in public and private securities transactions including initial private offerings, follow-on placements, and all associated securities issues.

In addition, Burr has a growing presence in the southeastern United States and regularly counsels home-grown, “middle-market” companies in capital opportunities among local or national alternatives.
