Venture capital is a critical resource in the development of emerging growth companies. Our firm is uniquely positioned at the intersection of capital and ideas. At Hutchison, our experienced venture capital attorneys consistently close more venture financing transactions per year than any other Southeast-based law firm. Because of this, we are able to leverage both our market intelligence and deal flow in order to create connections between investors and companies. As a result of our deep relationships with both entrepreneurs and the investors that invest in them, we can both assist companies raising funding as well as investors seeking opportunities.
Our constant presence in the venture marketplace enables us to add value for our company-side clients by leveraging our visibility and experience with the fundraising process. We have daily interactions with venture capitalists, angel investors, term sheets, financing documents and the process of closing a venture deal. Our experienced venture capital attorneys work on a number of matters related to venture capital, equity and debt financing. We work closely with our clients, providing counsel on a spectrum of topics related to their investments, including branding and trademarks, securities compliance, university licensing, tax, employee benefits and compensation and privacy and security. On the investor-side, we continue to grow our representation of venture capital and angel funds throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic in their investment activities. Additionally, we are actively involved in advising our investor clients on the legal matters surrounding the formation and management of their investment entities.
At Hutchison, we have a strong track record in the field that sets us apart from the competition. We represent funds small and large, including funds that are worth nearly $6 billion. Ultimately, we know what is at stake for our venture capital clients and we know the impact that experienced counsel can have on their bottom line.
