Venture Capital/Start-ups

When advising venture capital funds and start-up companies, we combine our full-service approach with industry know-how, entrepreneurial curiosity with a sense for practical solutions, creativity with the drive to execute, problem analysis with result orientation, speed with legal precision, lean structures with operational strength, and digital expertise with experience from the traditional corporate world.

Using our custom method of analysis we analyse the business models of different sectors from different perspectives – from the point of view of the founder, of the investor, and of the lawyer. Working with our clients we develop practical measures for avoiding legal hurdles and pitfalls.

We consult our clients to ensure that we put together the best international team with respect to the legal task at hand. As an independent law firm, we can address the specific requirements of client and mandate when selecting the local lawyers. We can thereby see to it that the quality of advice remains at a uniformly high level even when crossing national borders. Our tried-and-tested global advisory approach can be summed up as: one face to the client, one engagement letter, one bill.

But start-ups also need sound legal documentation to convince prospective investors and mitigate risk.
The Gleiss Lutz Start-up Program supports young businesses to meet these challenges, acting as a sounding board to help laying a solid groundwork for future development and growth.
