  • Private Equity and Venture Capital
    Private Equity and Venture Capital At Williams Mullen, we define our private equity and venture capital practice broadly to address all the different types of transactions in which equity is sold in transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. While Williams Mullen has a flourishing securities and corporate practice serving our clients who report publicly, we also know that the vast majority of capital raised in the United States is raised through exempt offerings and have focused for decades on serving this space. We are proud of our status as an acknowledged national leader in representing clients seeking and providing the types of funding that accompany transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. By definition, our practice covers those transactions normally defined as being in the “private equity” and “venture capital” space. Our lawyers routinely help private equity and venture capital sponsors form their funds, conduct their own private placements, and then invest that capital in portfolio company acquisitions and minority investments. We help our investor clients and clients seeking investments to formulate innovative strategies for structuring financings, acquisitions of private and public companies (including unsolicited acquisitions), going private transactions, stock for stock acquisitions, spin-offs, split-offs, split-ups, acquisitions of minority interests as well as traditional private placements of equity, debt, and convertible securities. Once financed, our firm provides ongoing counsel to our private equity clients including general legal counseling, corporate governance matters, add-on acquisitions, and divestitures. We also help early-stage, mid-stage and later-stage companies as they prepare to find capital to finance their needs and, when they are ready to do so, assist them in capital financing transactions.

  • Leading Private Equity Firms That Invest In
    www.com The Healthcare Investor www.mcguirewoods.com December 20, 2017 Leading Private Equity Firms That Invest in Healthcare (Part V) In 2016, we published a four-part series (access part one, part two, part three and part four) highlighting some of the more active private equity investors in the healthcare and life science space. Throughout 2017, we continued to see even more PE investors turn toward healthcare investments, new healthcare-focused funds form, and healthcare PE deal activity continue at an aggressive pace. Thus, we’ve decided that publishing an unexpected Part V to the series was necessary, and we anticipate an additional Part VI to be published in early 2018. These investors are primarily funds that focus largely on growth-stage, buyout and platform funding transactions, and the sheer number of investors is a real testament to investors’ views of healthcare as a solid investment play. Note: The investors discussed in this Part V and in prior and subsequent parts of this series are listed in no particular order. To recommend a firm to be profiled in a future column or request a change to a profile, please email [email protected] or fill out the form here.
