Start Up & Venture Capital

We give shape, substance and strength to the ideas of innovators and disruptors

We were among the first law firms to invest in the assistance to startups, developing over the years specific know-how that encompasses every aspect of the planning, establishment, and development of this strategic entrepreneurial field. We link innovation to financial investment and delicate market analysis.

Investment funds, business angels, private investors and industrial groups have chosen us as partners for their venture capital stories and corporate venture capital programs. Thanks to our network of international partners, we are also able to assist them in transactions involving several jurisdictions.

  • Our assistance begins with the legal structuring and validation of the business model and goes on to include all the necessary aspects for starting a business: IP issues, technology transfer, contracting, labor law aspects, work for equity plans. We oversee the delicate negotiating phase of term sheets and investment contracts.
  • We assist companies aiming to develop sustainable and inclusive business models, creating entrepreneurial formulas capable of combining business activities and collective interest purposes. We assist our clients in establishing benefit companies, socially innovative start-ups, social enterprises and corporate vehicles that pursue socially relevant purposes within the framework of ESG goals.
  • Our support also extends to implementing appropriate social reporting systems and managing regulatory aspects related to impact measurement, activities carried out in collaboration with consulting firms with expertise in the field.

La “Certificazione B Corporation” è un marchio che viene concesso in licenza da B Lab, ente privato no profit, alle aziende che, come la nostra, hanno superato con successo il B Impact Assessment (“BIA”) e soddisfano quindi i requisiti richiesti da B Lab in termini di performance sociale e ambientale, responsabilità e trasparenza.

Si specifica che B Lab non è un organismo di valutazione della conformità ai sensi del Regolamento (UE) n. 765/2008 o un organismo di normazione nazionale, europeo o internazionale ai sensi del Regolamento (UE) n. 1025/2012.

I criteri del BIA sono distinti e autonomi rispetto agli standard armonizzati risultanti dalle norme ISO o di altri organismi di normazione e non sono ratificati da parte di istituzioni pubbliche nazionali o europee.
