We work with many different clients involved in this area, including entrepreneurs and technology professionals, investors (including angel, venture capital, private equity and institutional), lenders and government agencies. We have deep expertise in advising both companies and venture capital firms with their investments in emerging companies and assist companies active in industries such as financial technology, life sciences, healthcare, media, social networking, energy, eSports, among others.
