PHILADELPHIA – Stradley Ronon is pleased to announce that the firm’s emerging companies and venture capital practice group has launched a new blog, Business Vantage Point. The blog, written by a diverse group of practitioners led by Partner Lori S. Smith will provide up-to-date news on the rapidly changing industry and practical tips on the legal implications of owning and investing in emerging and growth-stage companies.
Given the breadth and depth of issues faced by these companies and angel investors, as well as venture capital and private equity funds that support and spur their growth, Business Vantage Point will cover a wide range of issues from corporate and securities law, tax law and intellectual property matters to employment, bankruptcy, cybersecurity and even litigation. The blog will be a valuable resource for readers from the birth of a company, from the concept and business planning stage through exit via IPO, sale or other strategic transaction.
For decades, Stradley Ronon has been a valued and trusted adviser to emerging companies, entrepreneurs, inventors and the venture capital investment community. The firm’s practice guides companies, founders, investors and other stakeholders through the startup growth cycle, from developing the concept and financing operations to launching, marketing and scaling the product to ultimately achieving a successful exit. In helping the firm’s clients transition their ideas and inventions from the whiteboard or research lab to the marketplace, the team regularly negotiates with investors, research institutions and other parties. At the same time, the firm’s deep experience in structuring and arranging financing for companies at all stages has enabled our team to build an extensive network of angel investors, venture funds and other capital sources.
