About

Provided by Morais Leitão, Galvão Teles, Soares da Silva & Associados

Private Equity

In private equity (strictly speaking) the firm has been a recurrent presence in the high-profile buy-out and growth deals, with targets varying from hospitals to motorways and power plants. The team is focused on carefully tailoring and negotiating the investment and acquisition documentation to suit the client’s concrete strategy being deployed and to assemble the specialist expertise to thoroughly understand the main features of the target’s assets and other procedural constraints of the transaction (notably insolvency procedures and takeover offers).


Venture Capital

In venture capital, Team Genesis has unparalleled experience in the burgeoning start-up and scale-up scene where we work alongside some of the most exciting new ventures in technology (including fintech) and life sciences, not only on the pivotal moments but also on an ongoing basis in a myriad of legal matters (such as equity incentive plans or regulatory validation of business models/new products or features in one or multiple jurisdictions simultaneously). All strategic transactions in the venture lifecycle are covered notably fundraising (convertible instruments, preferred rounds, venture debt, performance warrants), growth (notably international expansion efforts) and exits.
