Venture Capital Financing

3 credits · Law School

This class will focus on the legal and economic structure of capital transactions and will familiarize students with the legal agreements used to document these transactions. Using lectures and in-class exercises, students will learn the function of the most common transaction documents, the economic and/or legal purpose of the provisions contained within these documents and alternative approaches to address specific situations. Students will work on a simulated transaction to gain experience in negotiating and drafting documents with an emphasis on meeting client objectives. Students will be evaluated on class participation, written assignments and potentially, a final exam. Prerequisite: Law 210.
