Chicago Venture Capital Attorneys

The use of venture capital in funding new startups has become increasingly prevalent with the evolution of the internet and new technologies. The high-risk, high-yield potential of companies such as internet startups has increased the appeal of venture capitalism, which naturally means there is higher importance than ever on knowing the laws regulating it. Being able to keep venture capital structuring and usage within the limits of federal and state law is a weighty matter, and one that it makes it well worth investing your time and money in an attorney.

Hart David Carson provides thorough legal counseling and representation to businesses facing matters of procuring and investing venture capital.

Laws for Venture Capitalists

There are risks of investing in a smaller business that has not yet established its presence in the market. Venture capitalists know this, and thus often develop a diverse portfolio of investments. However, there are a number of regulations that govern the way investments should be managed. These regulations, given by the SEC, are important to take into consideration when investing in venture capital. 

Some of these regulations include:

  • Disclosure, reporting, and transparency standards
  • Anti-money laundering regulations
  • Advertising and solicitation limitations
  • Securities regulations
  • Equity investing practices
  • SEC registration and reporting
  • Due diligence research
