Venture Capital & Emerging Companies

Emerging companies and investors in those emerging companies, whether angels, strategic corporate investors, family offices or venture capital firms have been working with Burns & Levinson over the years as a trusted business and legal advisor to guide and bring innovative ideas into commercial fruition and successful exits throughout the life cycle of the company.

Our team has wide-ranging experience representing investors and venture-backed, strategic-backed, and angel-backed entrepreneurial companies in the technology, life sciences, medical devices, software, artificial intelligence, FinTech, cybersecurity, sports, telecom, energy, cleantech, and healthcare industries among others. We counsel emerging growth companies in all stages of their life cycle from incorporation, business plan preparation, seed and venture capital financing, growth financing, and intellectual property protection to employment matters, strategic relationships, business combinations, and mergers, acquisitions and initial public offerings.

We have long-standing relationships with venture capitalists and angel investors, and constantly look for opportunities to match innovation to investment. We regularly introduce our start-up clients to our extensive network of financing sources, and know how to circumvent common financing obstacles once a connection is made.

We understand the cash constraints facing new ventures, and use innovative billing practices, a practical, problem-solving approach to develop cost-effective legal solutions to accommodate and facilitate the emerging companies’ growth and those of their investors.

As our clients’ businesses grow, our finance, securities, tax, intellectual property, labor, employment and employee benefits, and real estate attorneys collaborate to anticipate problems and offer no-nonsense advice on a cost-efficient basis. Our number one goal: make sure our emerging growth clients and their investors succeed through all phases of their life cycle.
