Venture Capital
Venture Capital practice is one of the leading business units of CHENINS. We act for venture capital funds, “club” investors, and individual investors, guiding them through the intricate process of assessing potential targets and structuring both debt and equity financing transactions.
Our comprehensive services extend to the incorporation of Venture Capital funds and practical oriented advisory on regulatory compliance, not only in the U.A.E. mainland but also in prominent financial free zones like the Dubai International Financial Centre, as well as popular offshore jurisdictions.
CHENINS also acts for limited partners of Venture Capital funds. We assist with Due Diligence of the fund, we review and advise on terms and conditions, and help to assess issues arising during ongoing relationships with fund management.
CHENINS is experienced in drafting and reviewing SAFE, convertible loan agreements, and VC customised security documentation under common law.
In addition to our commitment to investors, CHENINS proudly supports startups on their journey to success. We understand the unique challenges faced by tech businesses and regularly help them to prepare for raising finance. From establishing robust compliance systems to securing correct and valid intellectual property ownership, our dedicated team assists startups in fortifying their in-house legal framework and operations.
CHENINS has also extensive experience in representing founders with their relations with the key team members and talents, including issuance of employee share option plans.
