The importance of the Private Equity Sector cannot be underestimated. Geopolitical issues, interest rate uncertainty, fear of impending recession, and the rise of ESG concerns continue to become important issues in the private equity space.
We have longstanding relationships with private equity firms, financial sponsors, management teams, portfolio companies and sovereign wealth funds. Our Private Equity specialists focus on fund formation, regulatory matters, leveraged buyouts, acquisition finance, fund finance, management teams, secondaries, venture capital and tax. Clients trust our sharp, technical, and personal skillset to get deals done and to guide them throughout the private equity lifecycle: from fund formation, capital deployment, M&A, all types of financing structures, restructurings, to exits.
Our experience is supplemented by our active involvement in key industry bodies, including the Belgian Venture Capital & Private Equity Association, and our role in their advisory committees.
The venture capital industry has faced many challenges of a rapidly evolving world and financial landscape. These transformations have only accelerated, but venture capital has continued to persevere through these challenges.
Investors are more equipped than ever before with the knowledge of various new possibilities, including public web data, sustainable investing, automation and technology adaptation, and portfolio diversification. Yet, they continue to seek reliable legal support for their needs, preferences, assessment of risks and relevant regulatory framework.
Strelia’s Venture Capital team is known for our extensive experience in advising high-growth companies within the venture capital ecosystem in transactions concerning heavily regulated industry sectors, new technologies, and innovative products, including fintech, biotech, cleantech, and healthcare. We know how these sectors operate by being at the forefront of market trends, legal developments, and challenges. This enables us to provide top-quality support and share knowledge to help our clients make sound business decisions.
Our clients include angel investors, equity and debt funds, corporate investors, incubators, accelerators, and funding platforms. They seek our guidance throughout all phases of enterprise growth, from start-ups at the seed capital stage to early growth and investments in large companies and exits.
