Tech transactions
Tech M&A, venture capital and IPOs
Tech transactions are unlike other deals.
We know what it takes to secure the value of a tech acquisition, joint venture, collaboration agreement, or capital raising - whether it involves IP, talent, data or an innovative business model.
And with fierce competition for the best tech assets, we know how to execute at speed.
Our global team combines the world’s leading M&A and antitrust attorneys, cutting-edge IP and data expertise, and lawyers with decades of experience inside government agencies such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which play an increasingly important role in tech transactions. We will quickly assess the legal and regulatory factors that could impact the long-term value of your investment or the success of your exit – giving you the confidence to act.
