CNPLaw’s Private Equity Lawyers
Private equity can be a viable source of financing for companies that do not wish to increase their leverage. While the introduction of private equity can help take a company to the next level of its development, the competing interests involved can derail the very growth that such transactions are intended to accelerate if they are not properly managed.
With years of experience overseeing private equity transactions (acting for both private equity investors and companies seeking to raise funds), our lawyers have an acute sense of the interests of both sides and are adept at managing investor relations. This ability to put themselves in the shoes of each party enables our lawyers to identify overlapping interests and pre-empt potential areas of conflict on issues such as the management of the company and the degree of investor protection.
The digital transformation age we live in is producing technological disruption in the areas of new media and entertainment at an unprecedented rate. Ultra-high definition, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, robotics, big data analytics, tailored content delivery and fan-centric business-models are some of the innovations presently causing huge changes to traditional models for the production, marketing, publication, dissemination and exploitation of media and content. In the face of an increasingly-demanding consumer base, businesses need to leverage these next-generation technologies to drive growth, increase stakeholder value and stay relevant.
At CNPLaw, we advise on the full lifecycle of rights acquisition, content development, production, financing, sponsorship, distribution, licensing and commercial exploitation of content and data, including IP protection, confidentiality and privacy issues.
