Our private equity and venture capital practice sees the team advising on deals typically worth up to £100m and beyond.

With a particular strength in the mid-market, clients range from growth companies, venture capital and private equity houses and hedge funds to entrepreneurs, management teams and high net worth investors.

The team has a strong track record in advising founders and management teams on MBOs and MBIs, where its experience of acting for private equity houses provides a distinct advantage in negotiations.

The team also has considerable experience of advising on venture capital transactions ranging from seed and angel investments through to institutional series A, B and C rounds, follow-on growth capital to eventual exit.

The ability to provide integrated specialist teams from across the firm provides a full service for clients.

The team possesses deep knowledge and experience, enabling them to provide strategic guidance at every stage of the investment cycle. Furthermore, the practice is highly commendable for its client-centric approach and innovation. They prioritise understanding the client's unique needs and objectives, ensuring that their solutions are tailored to deliver maximum value and success. This client-focused mindset is complemented by their innovative approach to legal services, where they leverage technology.

Fladgate not only help with the actual legal but also support us in thinking beyond the legal to the commercial and business implications.

Fladgate's proactive approach, attention to detail, and strategic thinking ensures that it is well equipped to navigate intricate legal landscapes, finding solutions that are innovative and effective.

There are very few teams that have more and more relevant experience within the sector and can bring that experience to bear on the deals we are negotiating.

It is supremely powerful in a negotiation to have an up to date understanding of what is “normal” on a particular deal term and also to have multiple examples the legal firm on the other side of the transaction has previously proposed on the topic.
