Author: Aspatore Books Staff

Analyzing VC Deal Terms is an authoritative, insider's perspective on best practices for successfully structuring deal terms. Featuring partners and chairs from some of the nation's leading law firms, these experts guide the reader through establishing client goals and objectives, identifying important deal components, and evaluating requirement... more »s for VC funding. From understanding the structure of a transaction to forecasting legal regulatory issues, these leaders offer strategies for establishing financial benchmarks, executing due diligence, and formulating negotiation strategies. Additionally, these top lawyers give tips for analyzing dividend terms, anti-dilution provisions, redemptions rights, and liquidation preferences. Finally, these experts evaluate external factors that will impact a deal, such as the marketplace, specific industry, and other current deals. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to navigating an increasingly-enforced and ever-changing area of law. Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession, or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future.
