The Committee on Private Equity and Venture Capital focuses on issues
facing lawyers who form and represent private equity and venture
capital funds and those who advise entrepreneurs and companies seeking
financing from those sources. The Committee addresses the regulatory,
securities, corporate, tax, intellectual property, and other concerns
of the private equity and venture capital communities, including with
respect to both investments by funds and the formation of funds. The
Committee also provides a forum for exchanging views on transaction
terms and documents used in venture capital, LBO and MBO financings.
The Committee is also focused on annotating transactional document
forms in an effort to educate and assist practitioners in venture
capital and private equity financings. It also addresses legislative
and administrative initiatives affecting venture capital and buyout
funds, venture-backed companies and their investors.
