We give entrepreneurs the tools to focus on what’s important – raising money for their deals
If you’re interested in raising private capital to fund a business venture, then you likely already know navigating securities law can be a complex endeavor. Our attorneys will advise you on all the regulatory exemptions (eg. Regulation D, Regulation A, Regulation Crowdfunding, and Intrastate Offerings), help you select the appropriate regulatory exemption for your venture, and advise you on all Federal and State securities compliance requirements.
After advising you on relevant securities regulations and choosing the appropriate securities exemption for your venture, our attorneys will assist you in structuring your deal and our support staff will form any required entities. This process typically entails the formation of two limited liability companies (LLCs) – a Manager LLC and a Property LLC. We can also advise you in appointing a registered agent, a critical component of a legally compliant syndication offering.
Once the deal structure details have been determined, our attorneys will get busy conducting risk factor analysis and diligently drafting custom-tailored documents for your deal. If needed, we will draft your private placement memorandum, subscription agreements, operating agreements, and any other documents required to set your deal up for compliance and success.
Once your deal is structured and you’re ready to start fundraising, our experienced support staff will complete the required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will provide assistance in maintaining compliance with state regulators as you raise and use funds from residents of different states.
We are here for you through the entire life of your deal and beyond. Our legal team will guide you at every step of your syndication. From the letter of intent to close, we’re here to help make sure you remain legally compliant so you can effectively fundraise for your deal. This is why our legal services include 6 months of on-going legal advice after we’ve delivered final drafts of your documents.
For clients in California, Texas, and Massachusetts, we can assist you with contracting for and closing on a real estate transaction. If you’re also a deal sponsor, that makes us your one stop shop for real estate syndication, from letter of intent to close.
To provide more value to our clients, we’ve decided to expand our services to include estate planning. Check back soon for more information on the Trowbridge Nieh LLP estate planning services.
