Legal Counsel for Business-Critical Financial Matters

Business financial transactions do more than move money—they reshape ownership, control, and long-term value. Whether raising capital, pursuing a strategic partnership or securing loans with complex terms, the details can affect governance, tax outcomes, and opportunities for growth. Experienced counsel helps ensure the transaction reflects the company’s business goals, protects against unintended concessions, and positions the business for the future.

What We Do

Unlike large firms with siloed teams, our attorneys work closely with clients as hands-on partners, guiding equity financing transactions at all stages of growth, including:

Pre-seed funding (including SAFEs and convertible notes)
Seed funding
Series A and beyond funding
Private equity, family office and independent sponsors
Strategic investors

We also help businesses with all types of debt financing transactions, including:

Senior credit facilities such as term loans and revolving lines of credit
Private equity secured and unsecured loans
Mezzanine and subordinated debt
Equipment financing
Venture debt
Bridge financing

We address issues that keep business owners up at night, determining and negotiating for preferred terms, founder control, governance, securities law compliance and investor rights.

How We Help

Nemphos Braue helps businesses navigate complexity efficiently. From negotiating market-appropriate terms to addressing securities law requirements that apply even to private companies, the right advisor reduces risk and keeps transactions moving. The result is not just a closed deal, but a well-designed transaction that supports the company’s strategy, preserves flexibility, and avoids issues that can slow future financings or exits. The relationship doesn’t end once everything’s signed; we help you carefully prepare for and consider what’s next.

We went from using a boilerplate, back-of-the-napkin style template to a fully flushed out, living document that we can grow with and use to take on bigger partners.

Nemphos Braue has been an invaluable resource to me and my team. They offer a common sense-approach and think like entrepreneurs, which is unusual for attorneys.
