Venture capital work sits at the sharpest edge of Corporate & M&A practice — demanding lawyers who can move at founder speed, structure novel instruments and hold their ground in a room where the valuation is still being negotiated. The skills are specific: preferred equity waterfalls, drag-along mechanics, SAFE and convertible note architecture, board governance for high-growth companies. Generalist M&A experience alone does not produce this fluency.
We have mapped 2,000+ lawyers who practise in this specialism across the markets where venture capital is most active. That mapping is granular — we track deal types, stage focus, whether a lawyer typically acts for investors or founders, and the sectors they cover, from deep tech and life sciences to climate and fintech.
When a mandate reaches us — whether a firm is building a venture capital group or a company needs in-house counsel who understands the asset class — we search that mapped population rather than posting and waiting. The result is a shortlist built on evidence, not availability.

How do you find lawyers who specialise in venture capital rather than general M&A?
Venture capital is a distinct discipline within Corporate & M&A, and we treat it that way. Our market map of 2,000+ lawyers captures deal-type focus, investor-side versus founder-side experience, and sector depth — so we can distinguish a lawyer who has genuinely built a venture practice from one who has touched an occasional Series A alongside their core private equity work.
Can you recruit venture capital lawyers for an in-house role at a growth-stage company?
Yes. Companies that operate in the venture-backed space increasingly want in-house counsel who understand preferred equity, protective provisions and the dynamics of a cap table under multiple financing rounds. We recruit from the same mapped population for in-house mandates as we do for law firm searches, matching the candidate's background to the stage and sector of the company.
Do you work on both investor-side and founder-side venture capital hiring?
We do. The legal skills overlap but the temperament and practice emphasis often differ, and the firms or companies conducting the search sit on different sides of the table. Because our market map records which lawyers have acted primarily for funds, primarily for portfolio companies, or across both, we can tailor a search to whichever profile a mandate requires.
