Our Team
Our lawyers tailor their advice and solutions to meet the unique needs of early-stage companies, often with an eye toward future rounds of investment and exit strategies. Many of our lawyers previously worked in high growth businesses, and we understand that emerging companies want trusted advisors who provide practical and efficient legal advice.
Robinson+Cole has extensive experience representing both venture-backed companies and venture capital firms in industries such as consumer products, finance, health care, food and beverage, technology, manufacturing, media and marketing, and retail. We understand the standards by which venture capitalists assess businesses, business plans and models, the types and terms of securities involved, and the dynamics of multi-investor groups and multiple series of equity.

Our experience enables us to help clients navigate the often complicated issues involved in venture capital financings, as well as to provide advice and insight to those clients as they grow their businesses. We are well connected with leading venture capital firms across the country, and one of the most satisfying aspects of our work is facilitating appropriate introductions between clients seeking financing and investors with capital to place.
